I am officially the "go-to" guy for church sign quotes, it would appear. This one from the Associated Press:

To Mr. Seitz, the gentleman who is writing the book in whose promotional articles I keep appearing: Despite our somewhat differing views on church signs, I will purchase your volume and enjoy it, and encourage my somewhat large and rather growing readership to do the same.

Diesel, your recent post of God having a good sense of humor is ringing ever so true right about now.

This last exchange has me chortling. I'm going to go out and look for that sophisticated sign. Probably need to pack a lunch.

ReplyDeleteYou probably need to pack a suitcase.
Some of them really are quite sophisticated. For example, they have light sensors that tell them when to turn on at night.
