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 it 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 at 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 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 to all of 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 saw him
waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the
air. I asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed,
looked at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian
good luck sign. So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good
luck sign back.
Several cars behind, a very nice man stepped
out of his car and yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well,
but it sounded like, "Mother trucker," or "Mother's
from there." Maybe he was from Florida, too. He must really
love the Lord. A couple of the 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 to yellow, and 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. I leaned way out
the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good luck
sign as I drove away.
