billboard

Missouri sits in the bible belt of the USA. While driving on this road or that, traveling through small towns, I have been entertained by the signs in front of churches. Sometimes they are even just homemade signs planted in the dirt by the side of the road. I scribbled down a few of the more quirky quotes that I saw, and then later did a quick google search to discover them again... and oh so many more.

Read the bible. It will scare the Hell out of you.

For all you do, His blood’s for you.

Stop in the name of love and meet the Supreme.

Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to church for a faith lift.

Warning: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

Prevent truth decay. Brush up on your bible.

We have the best prophet-sharing plan.

A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

WalMart isn’t the only saving place.

Don’t give up. Moses was once a basket case.

But this sign has been by far the boldest. It’s a billboard along the highway in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. It’s easy to see, and it gets to the point - no fooling around.
