Religious humor in difficult times

Yes, we are all going through difficult times, and humor is one way of dealing with the world being turned upside down! I hope that no one finds this posting disrespectful.........I am only posting it because I found it very funny and wanted to put smiles on my UHH friends faces.

This is great. Woke me up, so funny I am still going for my first cup of coffee though. Love it that it is with Rod Serling, loved Twilight Zone one of my all time favorites. He was a genius. Thanks

That reminds me of an old story that has been around for awhile.
Grandma writes:
God bless you all. I just had to write to you about the wonderful experience I had the other day. I went up to 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 a 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, 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! Jesus Christ, 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. Then 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. 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.

I found this very funny and thought-provoking! It seems that so many folks nowadays appear so wrapped up in themselves and so TOUCHY about being disrespected or insulted that humorists often apologize in advance for their jokes in case anyone might possibly be offended. Hey - let's all get over it, laugh and know God is in control! Thanks for posting!

It is funny. Would like to be in that situation. Around here might bring on road rage.
