Grandma's Letter

    I received a letter from my grandmother last week. She is eighty-eight
    years old and still drives her own car. She writes:

    Yo Rocky,
    (She always calls me Yo)




    The other day I went up to our local Christian bookstore 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
    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 started honking like crazy,
    and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of God!
    Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ Go!" What an exuberant Cheerleader he was for
    Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and I 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 Margate 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. I asked your cousin George in the back seat what that meant.
    He said it was probably a Zulu good luck sign or something.

    Well, I've never met anyone from Zululand, so I leaned out the window and
    gave him the good luck sign back. George 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 at
    all my brothers and sisters 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 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 Zulu good luck sign one last time as I drove
    away. Praise the Lord for such wonders.
