“Whoever does not carry the cross
          and follow me cannot be my disciple.”
                                  —Luke 14.27

Romans nailed them to it, regularly.
It wasn’t jewelry. It was doom.

It doesn’t mean you belong.
It means you’re willing to die.

Think not of what you must accomplish
but what you will surrender;

and by that cross
great things may be accomplished.
