This cross is located in Groom, Texas. I have wanted to get a nice picture of it for about ten years now, and we actually went by it two days ago. I used my Canon Rebel XT to capture this shot. I was excited that we were going to get there at sundown. Funny thing is right after this shot, we ran into another one just like it in Indiana. I could not believe someone else put the exact same cross on their farm property, wonder if their related. This is Groom, Texas skyline, and put them on the map. The settings were shutter speed 1/30sec. F-stop F/5.0, ISO 400, Focal Length 140.0mm. This was an as is shot.
Welcome to the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ Ministries
and the marvelous story of what God is doing through this 19 story cross located on Interstate 40 at Groom, Texas. Construction of the
cross frame was done in two shops in Pampa, Texas by more than 100 welders and erected in July of 1995. Truly, all things are possible for those who believe.
Ten million people pass by every year. One thousand stop each day. This 190 foot tall free standing Cross can be seen from twenty miles away.
Thomas saith to him, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?”
Jesus saith to him: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.”
