There's a church in my neighborhood with one of those signs they can change every week or so. They try so hard to be witty, but often it comes off sounding pretentious, and frankly, it just ticks me off. I mean, I get unjustifiably angry when I see these signs. Why do they bother me so much? I think I would put them on par with inflatable lawn ornaments. I hate them for no reason other than they just annoy me. It's ridiculous.
A couple of weeks ago, this church had a sign that said, "Anger is one letter away from danger." That's just dumb. Anger is also one letter away from manger. Think about that for awhile. Oh yeah, and it's two letters away from stranger and six letters away from cliffhanger. Do I really need to go on?
They had another sign up awhile ago that said, "The easiest thing to find is fault." Really? Cause I think the easiest thing to find is trouble. And ladybugs. Seriously, southern Illinois is infested with ladybugs. But that's another thought for another day. Maybe for you, the easiest thing to find is gray hair, or chocolate, or loose change.
I'm sure that some elderly lady spends hours thinking up these little nuggets of truth. But, surely she can do better than "Jesus is like Tide. He removes the stains others leave behind." No kidding. I really saw that one.
