Grandma 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,
grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, 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

here's How
Retirees Keep Occupied
Now a dayz = 
After I retired, my wife insisted
that I accompany her on her trips to
Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred
to get in and get out.
Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target..
Dear Mrs.
Lehane,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our
store.
We cannot tolerate this behaviour and have been forced to ban both of
you from the store. Our complaints against your
husband, Mr. Lehane, are
listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.
1. June
15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other
people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.
3. July 7:
He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to
the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked
up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the
employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her
Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union
grievance, causing management
to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the
Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms
on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET
FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the
children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and
blankets from the bedding department to which
twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began
crying
and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were
called.
9. September 4: Looked
right into the security camera and used it
as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10:
While handling guns in the hunting department, he
asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna
look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed a foetal position and screamed
'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least:
15. October 23: Went into
a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One
of the clerks passed out.
