Victor, Colorado
I enjoyed my short time in Victor. It is a quirky little, seemly desolate town. You don't seem many people walking the streets or cruising the stores as you do in neighboring Cripple Creek.
This blue elk painted with the Colorado emblem on its back reveals some of the character of this old mining town.
Christians ought to be a little quirky.
We don't need a blue elk to express our world view. We have a cross. It is the symbol of the freedom that we have in Jesus Christ. He is the one who has put a new song in our mouths, like a bull elk bugling.
"He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD." Psalm 40:3 English Standard Version
This new song of the Christian community is sung in the presence of those who sing a different tune. The song isn't merely sung in our sanctuaries. It is sung in the world as we live the faith that God has planted in our hearts. Our song stands out like a blue elk in the world.
And by the way, since this blue elk is across from the Victor city hall, it makes me wonder what their meetings are like. Maybe they, too, are a little quirky.
