    ----------Got a letter from my Grandma from Frog Level, Arkansas... the
    other  day. 
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    She wrote:
    ------The other day, I went up to a  local Christian bookstore and saw
    a "Honk If
    You Love Jesus  " bumper sticker.  I was feeling particularly sassy
    thatday, 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
    bumper.
    Boy, I'm glad I did!
    ------------------------------------------------
    What an uplifting experience that  followed!  I was stopped at a red
    light at
    a busy intersection, just  lost in thought about the Lord and how good
    He
    is...and I didn't notice that  the light had changed.
    -------------------------------------------------
    It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus,  because if he hadn't
    honked, I'd
    never have noticed!
    I found that  LOTS of people love Jesus!  Why, while I was sitting
    there, the
    guy  behind me started honking like crazy, and then 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!, I say''
    --------------------------------------------------
    Everyone started honking!  I just leaned out of my window and 
    started waving
    and smiling at all these 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"...
    --------------------------------------------------
    I saw another guy waving in a funny way with  only his middle finger
    stuck up
    in the air.  When I asked my teenage  grandson in the back seat what
    that
    meant, he said that it was probably a  Hawaiian good luck sign or
    something.
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Well, I've never met anyone from  Hawaii so I leaned out the window
    and gave
    him the good luck sign  back.  My grandson burst out laughing... why
    even he was enjoying this  religious
    experience!
    -----------------------------------------------------
    A couple of the people were so caught  up in the joy of the moment
    that they
    got out of their cars and started  walking towards me.  I bet they
    wanted to
    pray or ask what church I  attended, but this is when I noticed the
    light had
    changed.  So, I  waved to all my sisters and brothers, grinning, and
    drove on
    through the  intersection. 
    ----------------------------------------------------
    I noticed
    I was the only car that got through the  intersection before the light
    changed
    again, and I felt kind of sad that I  had to leave them after all the
    love we
    had shared; ‘‘‘so I slowed the car  down, leaned out the window
    and gave them all
    the Hawaiian good luck sign  one last time as I drove away.’’’
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Praise the Lord for such wonderful  folks!
    Grandma.
