This is the first time I have tried to copy and paste from my word processor to the forum. If it don't work my apologies in advance. It's a story that I received by e-mail that ties in with the "Honk if you love _____" series.

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 of my car, and I am 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. The 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 the 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 the window and waved and smiled to all those loving people. There must have been some guy from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach, and saw him waving in a funny wave with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my kids what this meant. They kind of squirmed and looked at each other, giggled and told me it was the Hawaiian good luck sign. So I leaned out my 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 Trucker" or "Mother's from there". 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 got out of their cars and began walking toward me. I bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed the light had 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 the Hawaiian good luck sign as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks.
