While serving at the Mount Sequoyah Center, Waddell noticed lots of people coming up to the cross that stands there. “One day a woman sent me $1,000 in honor of her son… She told me to use it for something beautiful. Under the cross on cement, I chose three scriptures like “lay aside your guilt and sins and feeling of woes…and go out with singing.” To this day it gives her pleasure to see people reading it.
