IJMC Honk If You Love Jesus

                    IJMC - Honk If You Love Jesus

Ahh, another joke on perceptions...amazing how if you put ten people in a 
room and ask their opinion on something...you'll rarely get ten answers. 
Sometimes more, and sometimes fewer, but rarely ten.                -dave








Reverend's Wife Tells About Her Day

The other day, I went to the local religious book store where I found
a bumper sticker, "HONK, IF YOU LOVE JESUS".  I bought it and put it
on the back bumper of my car, and I am really glad that I did.  What
an uplifting experience followed.

I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, lost in thought
about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed.  The
bumper sticker really worked!

I found lots of people who love JESUS.  Why, the guy behind started to
honk like crazy.  He must really love the Lord because pretty soon he
leaned out of his 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 at all those loving people.

There must have been a guy from Florida back there, because I could
hear him shouting something about a sunny beach, and I saw him waving
in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck in the air.  I asked
my two kids what that meant, they kind of squirmed and looked at each
other, giggled and told me that was the Hawaiian Good Luck sign.  I
leaned out of the window and gave him the Good Luck sign back.

Several cars behind, a very nice black man stepped out of his car and
yelled something.  I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded like
mother something.  Maybe he was from Florida too.  He must really
love the Lord.

A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they were walking from their cars toward me.  I bet they wanted to
pray, but just then I noticed that the light changed, and I stepped
on the gas.  And a good thing I did, because I was the only driver to
get across the intersection.

 I looked back at them standing there, leaned out the window, gave
them a big smile and held up my Hawaiian Good Luck sign as I drove
away.  Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
