~Day 31

~Day 30

A shadow made on the wall...kinda creepy

~Day 29

Cabinets.

~Day 28

Some of you may recognize this slight imprint of a cross from the cover of the book of Christian Prayer.  I think the beaut of this is in the subtlety of the imprint.  Makes me think of how Christ's imprint is on our hearts wherever we are.

~Day 27

~Day 26

Doors seem to be a place where Crosses can often be found.  That makes nee think of the cross as a door, a gateway to the everlasting life in Christ.

~Day 25

I get by with a little help from my friends.

~Day 24

~Day 23

~Day 22

Beautiful stained glass at night.

~Day 21

On retreat at Lake Wawasee this cross looks or over the lake... So beautiful...

~Day 20

A gift to me and my wife for our wedding.  It's always fascinating to me to remember that the cross that we put on the wall, the cross that we wear around our neck, and the cross we give as a gift is what was used as an execution device.  How crazy it is that it could become a sign if hope.  How tremendous us the transformative love of God.

~Day 19

Brought to you by Ikea.

~Day 18

I had traveler's dispensation for day 17... This is day 18 at the reception for my cousin and his new wife.. Many blessings and many happy years to them!

~Day 16

The pattern on a coaster in our house.

~ Day 15

From a blanket.  Warmed by the love and sacrifice of Christ.

~ Day 14

This is a close up of the frame between the window looking out to the back yard.

~ Day 13

This is a vase... Kinda makes it look like an ice sculpture.

~ Day 12

Totally missed a day... I owe one more today!

~ Day 11

From a piece of wall art.

~ Day 10

The pattern on a couch.

~ Day 9

There's something that strikes me in a special way when I see a cross made out of wood that isn't processed or refined to look all polished and pretty.  There's something very raw and deep about it.

This just happened to be a stick lying on top of the other.  Maybe they fell off in the storm that we had here yesterday.

~ Day 8

I guess it could be said that my colleague Brett was clothed in the cross. 

~ Day 7

Really like this one.  It's carved into one of the residence halls at the University of Notre Dame that I walk by on my way to work.

~ Day 6

~ Day 5

Played with some light and some basic editing on my phone.  I think it turned out pretty interesting.

~ Day 4

Almost forgot...

~ Day 3 (takes a little imagination)

A little more unconventional... A construction site outside of where I work.

~ Day 2

Ever look down and see the cross beneath your feet?  I'm sure someone more poetic than I could come up with some beautiful metaphor for that... Peace always, Mike
