ODESSA, TEXAS -A new structure appeared unannounced on the south side of Highway 191 near the Midland and Ector county line.

It is a giant cross, about 40 feet tall. It is made of cypress, and it lights up at night. Five pieces of granite sit beside. Bible verses are inscribed on four, and on the fifth, the Ten Commandments. There is also a small parking lot.

People wondered. Some called the newspaper wondering if there was a new church under way that just hadn’t been announced yet. There is not.

So who built the cross, which lit up for the first time in the past week?
