PASTOR’S COLUMN. Jeremiah says in today’s OT lesson: “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”How many ways can you think doing this? Cheri has recently begun attending meetings of the Tanglefoot Historical District, of which Grace Presbyterian Church is a highlight. A number of you are involved in community organizations and civic affairs, in which we Presbyterians have a long history. Good for you. And we can vote in the upcoming elections.
I have recently organized the Twin Cities Bumper Sticker Expiration Patrol. This is a group of citizens, only me so far, who go around ticketing cars with expired bumper stickers. Missouri is a beautiful state. We don’t need ugly old bumper stickers or cars held together with nothing more than aged adhesive.
“I Like Ike,” said one. I liked him too, but that was a half-century ago. Give it a rest. “My Child is an Honor Student at Festus Elementary!” Great, but that child just graduated from college. Take it off your bumper. “The Pope Is Coming to St. Louis!” New Pope now. That was in 1999. Look forward not backward.
The Bumper Sticker Expiration Patrol has no meetings, no e-mails, no com-munication whatsoever. That’s what’s so good about it. If you feel like handing out a ticket, simply do so. Beautify the Twin Cities area!
