But the instructions were clear. ‘It had the basketball court in the sanctuary. I saw it like a slide show, and it showed me the podium, which rises like four crosses, two for the thieves, one for Christ, and the other cross is the one we all must bear individually,’ he said.” You are welcome to stop by if you’re ever near Crossville, halfway between Nashville and Knoxville, off Interstate 40 in eastern Tennessee.   A homemade sign at the bottom of the tree house reads: “Welcome friends.
