(Literally) carrying the cross, part three

I originally wrote about Reverend Obadiah Franklin, a man who carries a cross made of solid cedar posts, eight feet by 12 feet, in fall 2007.

I believe that he still is continuing his journey -- more information is available here.

Man holding giant cross spotted in Pocatello, Idaho

Drivers in Pocatello, Idaho, this week witnessed a man dressed all in red holding a giant cross. His name was Reverend Obadiah Franklin, and he's spreading the message of Jesus Christ throughout the continental U.S. one city at a time. Here's the scoop, according to KIFI-TV:

Franklin says almost four years ago, God spoke to him and told him to spread the word of the Lord. Since then he travels city to city throughout the continental United States. He says God laid out a plan for him even down to the color of his clothes. He says he wears all red because it represents the blood of Jesus.

The cross that Franklin carries is made of solid cedar posts, eight feet by 12 feet. That has got to be heavy.
