The other day I went into 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 a light at a busy
intersection, just lost in thoughts of the Lord, and I didn't notice that the light had
changed. That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who loved 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 his 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 his middle finger stuck
up in the air. I asked my two kids what that meant, they 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 large man
stepped out of his car and yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded
like "mother trucker" or mother 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 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 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 and I drove away.
