Thoughts on Florida's Newest Vanity Plate

[Jdarg]

I just saw Closer2Fine's sig line. Now I want a vanity plate with with Ricky Bobby's picture on it, with the words "Shake n' Bake" across the bottom.

My only thought is...well...it would bother me to see Christ on a license plate. A license plate is just banal and utilitarian, and I prefer to see holy images in holy and lofty places where they can be given the respect they deserve.

Muslims ban the image of Muhammed to be depicted because they believe it detracts from the worship of God as a higher concept, a greater being. I think this license plate just finally allowed me to grasp that reasoning.

There was another one submitted that I believe that money was going to further the act of prayer in public schools.

Crist said he would sign the bill, if people did not like, to just not buy it. BTW, do not forget to sign the petition at Keep Charlie Crist : Florida Governor.

The whole thing is moot, Siplin pulled the bill after Lawson made fun of the whole thing trying to get his own plate with the money going to help the State workers whose pay was in consideration of being cut.

All of those guys are the funniest thing running on public television at night.

Jesus, Take the Wheel!

I think it's "GOD IS MY CO-PILOT."

My father was a very successful businessman in Atlanta. He used to hang out with Mills Lane, Jr., and his crowd. But we still had the portrait below in our home. We knew that it meant so much to Mom that when we put her into an assisted-living facility, that was one of the things we hung on the wall.

BTW in the hippie days when Mom complained about guys with long hair, I'd just point to that picture in the kitchen and say, "Well, Jesus had long hair."

I think that the Jesus tag is sacrilegious and violates the separation of church and state.

And, some say, "God is my Pilot."

With all this Jesus talk, I don't have to go to church this Sunday! Wahoo~~~~~~~think I'll be forgiven?

Now if you were in TX, you would have a chance that your church would be closed anyway due to the swine flu! I heard on midday news where some churches in Cleburne, TX would not be open Sunday - guess those folks are wishing they had one of the vanity plates to pray to now. ;-)

I just thought of something! Remember the "plastic Jesus" for cars dashboards and St. Christopher medallions hanging from rear view mirrors?....When my husband and I were dating I remember St. Christopher swinging back and forth from his mirror.

"I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car.
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nations
With my Plastic Jesus I'll go far."

Thank God Jesus has a sense of humor!

We'll see.

Rita, I guess I get relief in being Episcopalian (inner city).....we never close! Swine or no Swine.......

1) No, I meant...Jesus, Take the Wheel. Go google Carrie Underwood and she can sing it for you.

2) Who the heck fire and dammnation is Mills Lane, Jr. and why did he have a crowd?

3) Love that y'all did that for your mom.

4) Back in the day, my Daddy looked out the back window and saw my long haired brother mowing the lawn and said..."Holy Cow, Jesus is mowing the yard!" Now you have an idea whose sense of humor I inherited.
