Honk if you love Jesus

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 wave 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 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, looked at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good-luck sign. So I leaned out of the window and gave him the good-luck sign back.

Several cars behind, another very nice young 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 I stepped on the gas. And a good thing I did because I was the only driver to get acros the intersection. I looked back at them standing there, and I leaned way out of the window, gave tham a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good-luck sign as I drove away.
