These praying hands were beautiful. If you're a true Christian at all, the closer you get to them, the more you feel how much the power of prayer really works. Can see from E. MacArthur Dr. (which is the main street through town).

Very neat to look at, and the hill that it is up on offers a nice view as well. It's not a long walk at all to the top, but it is high enough that you can look over the road and surrounding neighborhood while visiting.
