Plain is where many men land, and there is a good reason: a plain cross says only one thing. The Cable Cross has a twisted cable inside the frame, a faith that holds firm. The Gilded Cross is smooth and solid. If a little light appeals to you, the Modern Cross can be chosen in a design inlaid with a small cross of stones.

I'm 46. My dad died in March and I still haven't cried in front of anybody. I go to work, I take care of my kids, I'm fine. Except I'm not. Is there something a guy like me could wear that wouldn't feel weird?

You learned from him how to carry things, and now you are carrying him. Jesus wept at the grave of a friend (John 11:35), and he knew he was about to raise him. Tears are not a failure of faith, and neither is holding them in for a while. The Cable Cross, has twisted cable bound inside the frame, strands held together as one, for a man in a hard stretch. Wear it under your shirt. Put your hand on it in the truck, where nobody is looking, and tell God what you never told your father. That counts as prayer.
