THE BENSEL CROSS    
 By Irene Baron August 2021

Mitch Bensel, made a wooden cross for me from driftwood washed upon the banks of the Ohio River below the Ohio falls. His crosses are like no others, not only because of the unique exterior, but also for what they contain inside. 

My cross is twelve inches high. Some buyers order much larger ones. The wonder of all the Bensel Crosses is that many prayers are said over each cross as they are being constructed.

I grew up in Ohio where the one or two-mile thick ice of the last Ice Age began to retreat about 10,000 years ago.  The weight of the ice pushing on Ohio applied pressure to the crust of the Earth. Since the ice melted over…

 ANGELIC INTERVENTION      
By Irene Baron  www.irenebaron.com 

The most memorable angelic intervention I encountered happened when I was fourteen years old. I have told less than ten persons about that event until now.
