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! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.
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 of 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!

I worked as a night shift enlarger operator in a pro photo lab. A fellow enlarger operator was into Garner Ted Armstrong’s World Wide Church of God.
So my friend was working in the dark at his enlarger and thinking about God, when he heard a click, and the room began to glow red. Then he started feeling heat on his legs. He almost had a heart attack, fearing that the end of the world was upon us and he was feeling the heat of hell!
The glow and the heat persisted but seemed to be coming from under the easel table he was sitting at. Looking down, he saw that the day shift operator, apparently feeling cold, had brought in an electric space heater and sat it under the table. The click was the thermostat turning the heater on, the glow was from the electric heater coils, and the heat was being blown onto him by the heater fan.
Was he ever relieved!
