had a tree drop about 20 feet from the road and cut it up and the stump settled at a 45 degree angle so I wanted to paint something on it (15" across).

so good Friday I painted a white Cross on a black back ground on it.


2 days ago someone walked passed my no trespassing signs and sprayed over it in black.

so now I have repainted it and added 2 more. if bothered again I will plant a 4x4 post Cross 2 feet in the ground in cement.[:)]

I know it's not the neighbor - they loved it.

you don't like what I have on my property and you think you can do this? I will catch this person.

    It's sad some people have no respect for other people's property.

    Just sent up a tripwire About 5' in front of it. When they run out to spray paint it black, they'll trip on it and crack their head open on it. Then you'll have a red spot on it to paint over[:D]

    Make a smaller sign under it "THIS MEANS YOU!!!" also put up a game camera to see who it is. So when they come and vandalize again you can post their image to make them think again.

    Well that's just representative of being a Christian. It sure does legitimize the cross in his yard. [;)]

    Look at it this way;

    There is some poor, tortured soul out there to whose life you give meaning.

    been repainted and 2 more added, soon to be 3. I am putting one up tomorrow about 15 feet up on a tree, a dog wood tree.

    I think every time one is vandalized 2 more will go up. I'm thinking 4x4 posts 10 feet long and a couple bags of cement. good enough excuse to go to Lowes.[;)]

    I'm not going to hurt the person or call the law. I will however pray for them because if you are filled with hate at the sight of a cross then you do have a tortured soul indeed.

    I think the people who are the most "lost" are the people who are TOTALLY indifferent on the matter so I think this person can be reached but not with hate returned via trip wire, nails, etc.

    Paint the above symbol. This the arabic "noon" which is what arabic muslims use to ID Christians. It stands for "Nasarni".

    ISIS also used this to mark Christians as a badge of shame, kind of like the Nazis marked Jews with a yellow Star or David.

    Need a sign that says: Here lies a person who sprayed over the last cross I made.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    you know what would get their goat best, if I put up a sign that said
    "I pray for trespassing vandals"

    or I could try humor and paint a set of CROSShairs (PREFECT pun) on the stump with a guy in the crosshairs holding a spray can. [:D]
