    She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.
    She writes:


    Dear Grand-daughter,
    The other day I went up to our local Christian book store 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, am I 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, 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 then he leaned out of his window and screamed,
    ' For the love of God! '
    ' Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'
    What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
    Everyone started honking!
    I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those 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.
    I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.
    He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
    Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right 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 at all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection.
    I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and 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 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!!
    Will write again soon,
    Love, Grandma

    This is so funny, especially because I could see that easily happening to my DMIL :-)
