She writes: > > Dear Grandson, > The other day, i went up to our local Christian Book Store and saw a " Honk > if you love Jesus " bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that > day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by > a thunderous prayer meeting. So I bought the sticker and put it on my > back bumper. Boy, I'm glad I did. What an uplifting experience! > > I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought > about the Lord and how good He is. As I was sitting there, I guess the guy > behind me saw my bumper sticker, because he started honking. I am so glad > that he noticed it, because if he hadn't honked, I'd never would have > noticed how many other people also love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting > there, the guy behind me started honking like crazy and he leaned out of > his window and screamed, " For the love of God! Go!! > Go!! Jesus Christ Go!! " What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! > > Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving > and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times > to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there > because I heard him yelling something about a " sunny beach.
