On the final leg of a six-week United States of America road trip, I was driving east across Interstate 40 when a spot storm with golf ball-sized hail struck. A sign near Groom, Texas, announcing the “largest cross in the western hemisphere” explained the large crucifix I’d been wondering about for miles on the highway; it seemed like an OK place to wait out the storm. On my way to getting stuck in the mud and a giant double rainbow, I saw this silhouetted view of the cross, splitting the sunny sky from the stormy plains. (Photo and caption by Brad Maule)

    We actually just stopped and visited the cross in Groom Texas just two weeks ago. Much more than just the largest cross. A beautiful place to visit. It's is really amazing… there is a website http://www.crossministries.net/.
