Walking stick

When we were walking around at the Autumn Glory festival in Oakland the other week people were handing out these beaded walking sticks.  It is used as a way to tell people about Jesus.  The beads all have a meaning.

Yellow or gold represents Heaven. 
Somewhere we all want to go.

And the building of the wall of it was jasper: and the city was pure gold, unto clear glass.

Our problem - all are sinners.

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 6:23
