On this white post it says “PROP COR RBR/CAP”. We learned recently that the white post itself is not the property corner, but is called a “witness post” and points to the actual corner, which is steel rebar with a yellow cap on top. On closer inspection, there is a yellow cap next to the post that is hard to see in the dirt, so I didn’t take a picture of it. The caps often get covered with dirt and leaves, and the posts help find them.
I like the name, witness post. It makes me think of witnesses in the Bible and John the Baptist comes to mind.
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.
John 1:7
We can be witnesses as well by sharing God’s love and talking about what Jesus has done for us.
