Archie Smith worked in a jewelry store. One day a woman came in saying she wanted to buy a cross. Archie showed her a number of both gold and silver crosses and crucifixes. She picked up one of the crucifixes and stared at it. She asked Archie, "What's this on the cross?"
Archie said, "That's Jesus dying for our sins." The woman said, "Eeww. I don't want some dead guy on my cross."
Of course, we protestants use an empty cross as our symbol. Our Catholic brothers and sisters use the crucifix. However, the truth is there for both protestants and Catholics - there was a dead guy on our cross, even Jesus the Lord!
Prayer: "Loving God, help me to be all you would have me to be, in Jesus' name. Amen."
