A true disciple of Christ are you and you spread his message so beautifully with these words you write...thanks for sharing!

Hey Bob, you know those marquee-type signs that small businesses have? You know, the ones where you can change the letters around and they usually say things like, “Try our new taco salad, ” (even though the taco salad probably isn’t all that “new” anymore) . Sometimes the signs are on little trailers and have big arrows and flashing lights. In times of national tragedy, the business owners sometimes express themselves with witty, personalized messages like “God Bless America” or “Support Our Troops.” Anyway, I’m thinking of putting one of those signs in my front yard, with the big arrow and flashing lights, and it will say, “Jesus is ignoring the guy who lives here.” I figure it might humiliate Jesus enough that it shakes him out of his lackadaisical stupor towards me and he’ll realize he’s got one hell of a backlog of unanswered prayers from me. Now, as soon as he utters one word to me or shepherds me around a little bit like the bible advertises, I promise I’ll take the sign down, or maybe I’ll just rearrange the letters to say, “Jesus spoke to me. His English is actually pretty good, but I couldn’t understand everything he said because of his heavy Aramaic accent.”
