Handmade crosses
These are handmade by us (mostly Jonathan) and no two will be alike. They are made from recycled wood pieces, found objects and pages from old hymnals. This is just a sampling of what we can make, but if you would like a more custom one then please contact us about that. Please indicate what "look" you like best (use # under each cross) if you are choosing from the pictures below, and we will try to make yours look as much like that one as possible (but it will not look exactly like this!). Also tell us what word you would prefer if you would like to have a word on yours. Will ship in 2-4 weeks. We do have some already made that are not sold, so if you need it sooner please contact us.
#1 $48
#3 $52

I have been out of high school so long that college is my position point for teaching and seems to be the “norm” for me. I also did a few marks off degrees and spent a long time in college, so profitably adapted to that life and learned to love it. It is a more recent skill than high school.
High school was pretty easy for me. I was not involved in school per se. I loved my girlfriends: nap parties, Friday night pizza, sneaking into outdoor theaters in the trunk of a car, the Beatles movie, football games, rallies, etc. I loved the school.
Going to division and getting good grades was the price I paid to have the fun of high school with friends. This was before drugs went on at schools.
College was not about friends or actions. It was about classes, learning, doing all the reading and homework. There is a lot more learning on your own. You have to use the free time well. You are expected to study 2 hours for each hour of class. A learner has a lot more free time, so the order must come from within.
That takes some time to adapt to that method and see the discipline within you. No one is going to keep track of you at college if you go to class or not formally. You bet a professor notices that is in class, who hands in training, who poses questions, etc.
It took me a few years to start enjoying my classes. It was more fun when I took classes for my major.
After mark off, I went back to college twice and earned a 2nd BA and 2 MA’s. Those years were really fun. I worked very hard. I wanted to do well. My private life was great. I was only there to learn, not to make friends or get a date. My classes were my joy. I could not wait to take tests and show the professors what I had learned.
I had qualified and grown into a true student. I’m glad I took the opening to become a great student. I did not have that in me when I was young. With maturity, I was able to grasp the concept of learning and run with it.
