Gift Basket

A chain-link metal wave curls over the founder of Crossover 4 Christ, Jacob Barbour. The cold lip stops before it crashes. Jacob dribbles the NCAA basketball on the Union overpass as the east-west CT interstate 84 late night traffic roars underneath. He breaks into a signature basketball move called the crossover. The purpose of the move is the juke and/or stifle the opposing players so they will not impede the charge into the paint or simply shoot a fade away jumper. Add 2. And 1.

The yellow curb and the basketball direct attention toward an out of focus gray gothic shrine. Saint Anne’s double spires rise high over the city. The masonry details are left out since the early twentieth century circa. These bricks have a divine placement; however, the living stones stand before us on the streets upon the big shoulders of the chief cornerstone.

Our temple can put on wet moves and not lay dormant until the property is sold off. Own the city’s blocks and corners or burst out of the bowl in a couple of quick twitch spurts. Which is better? Put the light on it’s stand so every lost soul may receive the light. Jesus said, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Each time we’re fouled on the way up toward heaven another gift basket is placed in our locker.
