Church Signs

I have loved reading church signs for years. It's something I actually look forward to when we move and settle into a new place. I love to see what they come up with. Some of my favorite quotes have come from church signs like "Fall on your knees and grow there." The signs can also be humorous. I saw one that said "Sign is broken. Please come inside for message," and "Our church is prayer conditioned," and "Under same management for 2000 years." Of course this one was discounted on Snopes but I still got a good laugh http://http//www.ourrisingsound.com/2008/08/19/presbyterian-vs-catholic-church-sign-debate/


And some signs will even make you think like the one I passed the other day "Fear not tomorrow for God is already there." I love that!


I passed one though in town last month that bothered me a bit though. Being near Memorial Day it read "Every Sunday is Memorial Day here." Now don't get me wrong I am strong in my faith and strong in my patriotism. I honor those men and women who gave their all for this country. And Memorial Day is a day for BBQs and family time but it is also a time to remember those who have given their lives. Now I don't see Jesus in this light. Yes He died, but the good news is is that Jesus rose!!! I serve a living God!! I am saddened when I think of the soldiers. Proud, but sad, for they left families...wives and babies..kids and mothers. When I think of Jesus I am in awe, grateful, and HAPPY! I don't think what happened on Easter morning should be considered the same as Memorial Day. Ok...there I said my peace. Thanks for listening to me :o) Here now...have a cute picture :o) Not a true cowboy unless you wear your boots over your footed pjs :o) Y'all have a great week!
