I Drive the Highway to Holiness

What do you know, it turns out I-35, which I drive to work each and every day, is literally the road to salvation. I kid you not:

I-35 is road to salvation, say some Christians
Believers say the highway is straight out of scripture; others call the interpretation skewed, even absurd.

For many drivers it's an efficient route to the cabin up north or the Iowa homestead down south, but for a number of Christians across denominations, Interstate 35 is a holy stretch of asphalt leading not to the site of Buddy Holly's last gig, but to divine salvation.

Some believe I-35 might be shorthand that links the interstate to Isaiah 35:8 of the Bible: "And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way; the unclean shall not pass over it, and fools shall not err therein." (read more)

All My Rowdy Friends

This morning we saw the Monday Night Football semi. For those interested, Minnesota pulled out a win over Chicago. Final score was 20-16. This is Minnesota's fifth victory in a row.

More Jesus

Not on the commute, but around town:

"Jesus is for Lovers" on the back of a Honda civic.

One of the interesting things about this particular bumper sticker is that it may have been homemade-- it looked like the "Virginia is for Lovers" sticker with a blue and yellow "Jesus" in block letters put over Virginia.

It doesn't really really matter. Either way, it is awesome, and so true.

Non-Lethal Employment

On this morning's drive I saw a bumper sticker that said "worldnetdaily.com" only I thought it said "work's not deadly." You can see where my mind is these days.
