Holy Tree
Today is the second Sunday in Lent. I first thought the tree, as it stood in the middle of an art community, was just a handy way to showcase one's creations. But I began to wonder if it wasn't some kind of a shrine or a wishing tree of crosses or a collection of talismans to ward off evil. I don't understand garish crosses. My last church had a large wooden cross suspended over the pulpit. It was a bit unnerving at first to stand there and deliver my sermon with the possibility that the cross could fall on me. I felt warned to be careful what I said. I hope that I was honest and truthful and transparent and not too careful.
