ANNA MAE COX
...because of her love of dogwood trees.
(read my poem "Dogwood Dreams")
Legend of the Dogwood
Anonymous
At the time of the crucifixion,
the dogwood had reached the size of the mighty oak tree.
So strong and firm was the wood that it
was chosen as the timber for Jesus' cross.
To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood.
While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this,
and in his compassion said,
"Because of your pity for my suffering,
never again shall the dogwood tree
grow large enough to be used for a cross.
Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted,
and its blossoms shall be in the form
of a cross–two long and two short petals.
"In the center of the outer edge of each petal
will be the print of nails.
In the center of the flower,
stained with blood,
will be a crown of thorns
so that all who see it will remember."

He Is Risen!
Atop Mt. Pleasant in Lancaster, Ohio
Easter morning Sunrise Services 2000
As a child, nearly every year,
Mom would take us all up Mt. Pleasant for Easter.
In 2000, I relived that childhood memory with relatives.
As the sun rose above the mountain and the
Pastor began to speak, this is the photo I took.
And these were the words in my heart.
I had the God given opportunity to share this trip with
my Uncle Bill & Aunt Helen,
My brother Randy and his son Robert,
and my sister Rhonda with her children, Timmy & Tiffany.
What a glorious gift indeed!
Just click the "He Is Risen" bunny above to read the poem.
