              John was told to dig a trench 500 feet long through the middle of God’s Wisdom then put a manhole in the middle.
              
              
              While digging for a manhole placement, the well is uncovered exactly where John was told it would be.

              In the year 2014 John was able to pave a walkway 500 feet long through the middle of God’s Wisdom so that people with wheelchairs and walkers could come to the well.

              It was wintertime, John said he was given a vision of two big rocks that he would uncover out in the field both flat on one side. He was told to place one on each end of God’s Wisdom with the flat part facing out. Shortly after that John was given a message of what to write upon each stone. John put it all on the grid paper plan and when the springtime rolled around John told the bulldozer guy Joe about it. Joe told him he didn’t think he would find anything like that out in the field. Sure enough, he came across a big boulder it must have weighed about 50 tons, it would not budge. Joe told John that rock was just going to have to stay out there in the field. The very next day Joe came back to work and he brought with him his 29-year-old son. He said that when he got up on the bulldozer something told him to touch the stone one more time, then as the blade touched down on the stone they heard a great big bang louder than dynamite, they saw the boulder split into two big rocks both flat on one side just like in the vision that John received. John was told that the boulder split against the grain and that’s impossible to happen.
              
              
              John put one on each end of God’s Wisdom with the flat part facing out.
Noreen then hand painted the artwork onto each cornerstone rock.

              John was told to put two benches at the end of the cross. On the right bench, he was told to write HONOR MOTHER WITH LOVE. The original benches were wooden- John was later told that it must be able to withstand 200 miles per hour winds someday.
              
              
              John was told to put two benches at the end of the cross. On the left bench, he was told to write LET THE ONE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE. The original benches were wooden- John was later told that it must be able to withstand 200 miles per hour winds someday.
              
              
              The benches were remade to withstand 200 miles per hour winds someday. 36 ton of granite from Barre Vermont. Buried five feet underground. Noreen's hand-painted the artwork onto each new bench.

              God’s Wisdom Cries Out Please Come Back To Me is written on the front part of the two benches made to withstand 200 mile per hour winds someday.

              John was then told to take the plans he had for the heart in the middle of the cross, to take the heart and stretch it out big around the cross. John staked out by hand a ten-foot-wide walkway in the shape of a heart surrounding the cross. The heart was later paved and painted pure white.

              John dedicated this rock to his family, it is called The Cummings rock. He also has called it The Last Supper table.
              
              
              John was told to pave a 30 feet wide walkway all the way around God’s Wisdom. He was able to accomplish this in the year 2015.

              John was given the message that one day soon thousands of people will be coming to the cross and that they are going to come all at once. John was working on making a parking lot area for thousands of cars to park just before he died. The three crosses are welcome signs in the parking lot that represent Father, Son, Holy Spirit
              
              
              The Triangle - 250 feet long on the bottom and 180 feet long on each side, filled with 200 tons of white marble from VT. John was told to write God’s Wisdom Cries Out Please Come Back To Me across the field. Each Letter is 8 feet long.
