My personal favorite is from a tiny church somewhere in Kentucky (we were taking the scenic route).

**Jesus U R Gr8**

If there were a god, I wonder how he’d feel about being marketed like a Madison Avenue product.

“Got Jesus?”

Just sayin’.

Must be a letter shortage in those parts. Or God frequents chat rooms and doesn’t touch-type.

Here’s one found on the sign of a Baptist church near my house:

"And all this King’s horses  
And all the King’s men  
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

But the Lord can.  
Praise Jesus."

I cannot enumberate how many hours I have spent contemplating this.

My favourite was:

"Pray for Saskatoon [the town I live in]

- God"

Needless to say, I was watching the skies for fire and brimestone!
