WITH LENIN ON THE $1 BILL, STALIN ON THE $5, TROTSKY ON THE . . .?

I was driving around yesterday afternoon enjoying the warm breezes, a little overtired after a late night. I drowsed through a stoplight, and motored onward in a bit of a trance in the soothing sunlight. All of a sudden, I could swear I saw this sign in front of a bank:

FIRST

COMMUNIST

BANK

Whaaa? I blinked. The middle word melted into “Community.”

Ohhhh. Whew.

Gee. I know that creeping socialism and Big Brother overregulation are concerns, but I didn’t know things had gotten THAT bad.

At least the logo didn’t look like a hammer and sickle.

Praise reports: I read a column by a Christian writer exhorting you to imagine how it will feel some day in heaven to know that people aren’t there because you didn’t tell them about your Savior. You’re supposed to pray, “Open a door,” to give you a chance to talk about spiritual matters with someone in your circle of influence . . . then “open their heart” so they will be receptive to your message . . . and “open my mouth” so that you won’t chicken out. I bowed my head right here at the keyboard and prayed those things. Then, boom! On errands Friday, I ran into someone I haven’t seen for a year, who is on my “spiritual things-to-do” list. We talked, and we’re going to talk again. It was just so natural; I knew I was in the right place at the right time. Lord Jesus, You are such an amazing paving contractor – paving the way for each of us to make a difference for You wherever we go. It’s great to be out on the roads of life, knowing that You’re always one step ahead, making them ready for our journeys. (Proverbs 22:4)
