OUR READERS RESPONDED

More signs for the times
___We asked for a sign, and you sent us loads of them. In response to the Jan. 27 articles on church signs, readers sent their favorites via e-mail, regular mail and photograph.
___Some offered seasonal advice, like this one for a hot Texas summer: "And you think it's hot here?"
___Others related to specific events, like this sign seen at a church in Norman, Okla., the weekend of a football game between Oklahoma and Texas A&M: "Live Music, Free Drinks, No Cover Charge, 9:30 and 11:00."
___Still others depended upon context for their beauty, like this Scriptural reminder viewed along Highway 281 near Stephenville after a rainstorm, when a double rainbow framed the sunset: "The heavens declare God's glory."
___Some even offered timely reminders for commuters, like this sign seen in Dallas: "Last chance to pray before you enter I-35E."
___The cream of the crop from other submissions:
___ How will you spend eternity: Smoking or non-smoking?
___ We believe in extraterrestrial life--His name is Jesus
___ Our pastor still makes housecalls
___ Sign broken ... Message inside
___ Come in for a faith lift
___ If everyone who said "I do" did, there wouldn't be as many marriages skid
___ Free ticket to heaven--Details inside
