Good article. It used to be in the southern part of the Netherlands, which is mostly Catholic, that you would see piles of rocks in the very middle of a farmers field. Farmers would on purpose place a pile of rocks that were sort of "in the way" when they worked the land with tractors or harvest machinery. It was said that as they had to make their way around these piles of rocks, it would remind them to pray and to thank the Lord of the Harvest. As a protestant girl growing up in the Netherlands, I was told that this was superstitious but I am not so sure - it is good to have reminders to pray, to be thankful and to submit daily to our God. If that is through a pile of rocks, a painting, a cross or whatever - that reminder is very helpful. Enjoy Tiffany Falls and the rocks that point to the Rock.

I am looking for a job description for a youth worker/pastor. Would this network have some samples available?
thanks

Thank you all for your responses - it has been very helpful. I truly love this NETWORK thing and the possibility to interact with others in the CRC.
