Sign of the Times?


Greeting people at the door after morning worship, I was surprised when one woman doubled back to speak with me again. Was I that much fun? Did she have second thoughts?

She said we really needed to take down that sign right away. Which sign? Where?

Following her lead, I found it, strapped to the bus stop signpost twenty paces from our front door.

Some creative soul (although s/he might resent the term) had whited out a strategic "S" to form a spiritual warning for all who passed by our house of worship on Pentecost Sunday.

No problem, though. By the time we discovered and removed the sign we'd already prayed and praised the goodness of our God.

I'll find out at this Thursday's meeting of the ministerial association if any other churches were targeted for the whimsical warning.

Meanwhile, I'm just grateful the perp also whited out the fine print subscript about "spreading poisons."
