Last year ‘Homeland’ was so wheels off unbelievable I can’t figure out who ends the season worst, the Cowboys or this program. I don’t think I’m in this season but what’s up with Brody’s teenage daughter taking topless pics of herself and turning to Islam?

That’s one way a church can spend $700,000
Three crosses under construction to stand tall over Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA, TN (Times Free Press) –
Seventy-five thousand cars pass the site on Interstate 75 every day, most oblivious of the cluster of brick buildings between the Bonny Oaks and Shallowford Road exits on the east side of the highway.
By the end of the week, nobody who passes The Crossing Church will be able to miss it.
A 125-foot-high cross, the tallest in the area, flanked by two 100-foot crosses, will mark the Church of God congregation. The smaller crosses are about as tall as downtown’s Krystal Building and Sheraton Read House, while the tallest is about as high as Patten Towers and the DoubleTree Hotel.
The Rev. Terry Harris, senior pastor of Crossing Church, said the crosses — a $700,000 project — are meant as a daily witness to passers-by.
