Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Belated Beauty

Shortly after the youth group auction I attended a month ago, the youth minister stopped by my classroom and said I was the second bidder on a handmade wooden cross. She asked if I would be willing to pay the winning bid amount for a second cross that the woodworker would make for me. Of course I said yes.

And then I promptly forgot about it.

Yesterday, one of the kids came to my room with the completed cross. It’s beautiful!

I should find out what different kinds of wood it’s made from. The center cross is purple. So cool! I will hang it in my classroom.

    That is outstanding woodwork – with an amazing completed cross. I know it will be displayed proudly somewhere in your home or classroom.

    [I also like the way this guy thinks – approach the runner up to see if you can squeeze out a second purchase. Nice…]
