The Cross: 'glimmer or hope' or just a pile of steel?

A few days after 9-11, Frank Silecchia was digging at Ground Zero digging for human remains.
At about dawn, the tired and weary construction worker looked up and saw "a glimmer of hope."
Remarkably -- some might even say miraculously -- standing before him in a heap of rubble was a 2-ton, 20-foot cross..
It was steel beams that had fallen intact when the north tower of the World Trade Center implodes
But to Frank Silecchia, it was God telling us that "everything was somehow going to be all right."
WOW!

I admit I get a bit skeptical when I read about someone who says he saw Jesus in his corn flakes or claims to have had a close encounter with the Virgin Mary in the Mojave Desert.
Stuff like that, in my opinion, is more the result of bad (or good) shrooms rather than divine intervention.

The cross incident was the real deal to Frank Silecchia.
He spent 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for the next 10 months digging through the rubble of Ground Zero.
It cost him 40 percent of his lung capacity.

I Corinthians 1:18 sayz:
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

Now what say you?
I think I'll choose power over pershing, thank you.
