I love the good natured corniness of church signs. I picture a little old church secretary wobbling up on a ladder arranging the new slogan for the week... I can see her all excited to get the reaction from the church members for her latest creation. I, for one, love that lady. She cracks me up. Of course, she looks and acts strikingly similar to Dana Carvey's ChurchLady. Anyway, here are a few of her greatest hits:
God accepts Knee-Mail!
Down in the mouth? Have a Faith Lift!
Hot outside? Come on in, our church is "Prayer Conditioned"
What's missing in chch? U R!
Wal-Mart's not the only saving place. (MY FAVE)
Heavenly Forecast: Jesus will REIGN forever.
Having truth decay? Brush up on your Bible here!
Read the Bible, it will scare the Hell out of you!
Come and Meet at my house before the Game... God
I know Amy & Aaron know a few more cause we've talked about some in Monroe. Please add to the list if you know of a good one!

"A pastor lead best when his peoples get behind him."

Forecast:
The Son will shine forever.
One more- I thought of this one last night and is one that makes me laugh-
Sign broken, message inside.
i always liked this one...
no Jesus...no life...
know Jesus... know life...

"Got Jesus?"
and my fav (I'm not making this up, it was the sign at my grandfather's church) "Never kick a cow chip on a hot day"

Now that's some good advice. If only more churches concerned themselves with teaching the really practical things.
