WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE?

The back side of these two signs says, "Reserved for first time

visitors." In a small town like this, who would want to admit it was

their first visit to church?"

A Prius. a Yugo...who knows...but I'm not just smiling...I'm laughing...out loud!!!

Oh...and I think the bird on the right spire really does complete the image:-)!

Thanks. If I really wanted to be a drama queen, I suppose I could have made the bird way up there a great big vulture. Ready to swoop down on violators. Hmmm... that gives me an idea.

does a guy that can walk over water need a drive you think?

I like that the lot has both visitor parking and no public parking signs. It seems to say that the general public is not welcome to visit, which is how many feel at churches these days.

I never thought of that. Really

Actually, in our area, and, based on my fairly extensive travels, in all parts of the country, it seems that two related phenomena are occurring. The first is that the mega churches continue their high growth rate, and new "homemade" churches pop up with increasing regularity. This last year in this small town we had three new churches (that I know of) come out of nowhere. Quite often they are simply the result of one person, who seems to feel that his/her concept of a church is better than or more needed than what is currently available. It seems that anybody can hang up a shingle and call themselves a pastor. I'm continually dumbfounded that the gullible will trust the guidance of their almighty souls to some guy that last month was their auto mechanic, but this month has a "vision." We used to call them nutcases, but now they are spiritual guides. Go figure.

Hummmm....no first time visitors, no public parking, and no just reserved for visitors CARS are apparent, they must all be at the local watering hole. And certainly don't walk on the nice lawn. I think maybe all the "rules" sorta scare Jesus off and his dunebuggy is parked down on skidrow somewhere.

Visitors welcome. Average-Joe public is not. Given the state of affairs with the politicized church, I imagine that Jesus would simply drive away.

Now that has a nice ring to it..

I'll be watching to see what your shingle says when you hang it out for the masses. For your first sermon may I suggest, "The Meek Shall Inherit NOTHING!"

When I see parking that is designated for "Visitors" I often pause to wonder, "Are there really "Residents" here at this business?" That would be scary for some of the locations I've seen such signs.

My feelings too.

Well, I'm as qualified as some of them. And God knows I could use the extra cash.

I know for a fact that Jesus takes the bus.

And I suppose you've shared a seat with him on the way to work?

I know for a fact that he drove away 2.008 years ago. Some say He never came back, some say He is going to come back. I'm not sure about it but I think that if He ever comes back He will certainly park is car inside a garage with alarm. Not in an open space. He may be God but He knows what He has created. We may not all be genial photographers and certainly I'm not, but thank's God there is still enough people with sense of humour to make us laugh.

Glad you got a laugh out of it. That was my intention. Thanks for stopping by.
