In honor of my 28th birthday, which is January 16th, I am posting a Jesus sign photo I took in the spring when I visited Mississippi. I can't believe I forgot to share it, but better late than never.
For a while, these signs were everywhere in the town where my parents live. I have never gotten a clear answer on who was distributing them, or why, but I think they may be the best specimens of the Jesus sign genre I've ever seen, since they combine a baffling slogan (Enough is enough? Enough of what?) with totally unnecessary capitalization. I especially love that the word JESUS is in really, really big letters. It always is. I think the logic is that if people are driving by at 70 m.p.h. and don't have time to read the whole sign, you want their eyes to be drawn to the important part of the message.
So enjoy, and if you've seen any better signs than this lately, don't hold out on me. Share. It's my birthday.

Hey girl! Happy birthday! I thought of you as we made our way north to Memphis and we saw such a familiar sign somewhere between Birmingham and Montgomery. If the traffic was not so bad, I would have taken a picture! Happy birthday again!
