The other day I went to the local religious book store and 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 it's 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.
