The other day I…

The other day I went to the local religious book store where
I saw a “Honk if you Love Jesus” bumper sticker. I bought it and put in
on the back bumper of my car, and I’m really glad I did. What an uplifting
experience followed.

I was stopped at the light of a busy intersection. Just
lost in thought about the Lord and didn’t notice that the light had changed.
That bumper sticker really worked. I found lots of people who love Jesus.
Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy, he must really love
the Lord. Because pretty soon he leaned out the window and yelled “Jesus
Christ” as loud as he could. It was like a football game with him shouting,
“Go Jesus Christ, Go”. Everyone else started honking too. So I leaned out
my window and waved and smiled to all those loving people.

There must have been a guy from Florida back there because
I could hear him yelling something about a Sunny Beach, and I saw him waving
in a funny way with only his middle finger up in the air. I had recently
asked my two kids what that meant. They told me that it was the Hawaiian
Good Luck Sign. So I leaned out the window and gave him the Good Luck Sign
back. A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I bet they wanted
to pray.

But just then I noticed that the light had changed, and
I stepped on the gas. It’s a good thing I did, because I was the only car
to get across the intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I
leaned out the window and gave them a Big Smile and held up the Hawaiian
Good Luck Sign as I drove away.
