Please note that these links do exist -- but
they're in the process of being shuffled around a little because of some
asshole making an issue of my web sites in court. If one doesn't work today
-- it will very soon. I'm guessing November 30, 2005!
The other day, I stopped at the local Christian bookstore and saw a
“Honk if you love Jesus” bumper sticker. I was feeling somewhat
sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir
performance followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. I bought the
sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did. What an
uplifting experience that followed!
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection and just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good He is…and did not notice the
light had changed. It is a good thing that someone else loves Jesus
because if he had not honked I would not have noticed. I found that
LOTS of people love Jesus! Why, while I was sitting there, the guy
behind me started honking like crazy and leaned out his window and
screamed,” For the love of GOD! Go! Go! Jesus Christ Go!” My, what
an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out the window and started
waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn
several times to share in the love. There must have been a man from
Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a
“sunny beach”. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his
middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in
the back seat what that meant and he said it was probably a Hawaiian
good luck sign or something. Well, I never met anyone from Hawaii,
so I leaned out the window and gave the good luck sign back. My
grandson busts out laughing---why even he was enjoying the religious
experience!
A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment and
started to walk toward me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what
church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So I waved to all my sisters and brothers and drove on through the
intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the
intersection before the light changed again and I felt somewhat sad
to leave them after all the love we had shared.
So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all
the Hawaiian good luck sign as I drove away. Praise the Lord for
such wonderful folks!
