‘I’ll see you up there.’
That’s what Daniel Byrd said last week during a brief stop in Big Stone Gap as he wandered off with his cross. Byrd, also known as Pastor Daniel, has been traveling around the east and as far as Texas, taking up his cross for eight years. While traveling through Wise County last week, he said he carries the cross to bring awareness of Jesus. He started in Delaware. Byrd said he doesn’t know where he is going next, but will go wherever he feels led. TERRAN YOUNG PHOTO
