Pave The Way To The Cross

David Warmke, Columnist for the New Braunfel’s HERALD

“When was the last time you went somewhere that really changed you? You should visit the cross in Kerrville. The open cross is 77 feet 7 inches tall, in a sculpture prayer garden in Kerrville….All of the sculpture works have been donated and sit in a cross- shaped garden on the top of the hill along IH-10 overlooking Kerrville…I have a good friend who has been talking of the place and wanting to take a Saturday men’s Bible study group there. It did not appeal to me; there were a lot of expectations of spiritual manifestations happening there and I framed it as a place encounter-seekers go. He gave me a CD that only reinforced my skepticism…Tuesday morning I went for my usual swim and then headed to Kerrville to experience it for myself. I was not sure what to expect, but on getting there was amazed a 300-foot long cross shaped garden with 77 scripture verses in three languages on the walkway was powerful! The 18-foot-tall statue of Jesus on a white horse is the center of the garden was breathtaking…I urge you to go and experience it for yourself. Many have found Christ there; some have seen miraculous things happen and some have been healed and some like me have been baptized again into a fuller life following the King.”
