Bonanza of God's Billboards

Once upon a time, Americans traveled the highways searching for the latest word of God. But not anymore! Those same roadside messages, plus a batch of new ones, can now be viewed anytime at home on your own personal computer. Google currently lists nine sites carrying these "messages from God."

Do you remember the original billboards? Someone in Florida started the ball rolling with eighteen messages in white type on black billboards all "signed" by God.

South Florida motorists spotted such disarming “quotes” as:

* Let's meet at my house before the game. -God

* C'mon over and bring the kids. -God

Others messages spoke in a friendly but more serious tone:

* What part of "Thou Shall Not ..." didn't you understand? -God

* That "Love Thy Neighbor" thing ... I meant that. -God

Now the messages have gone from billboards to cyberspace. A couple of sites include the original eighteen sayings as well as a good number of new messages. Evidently, God keeps coming up with new ones. Hey, the graphics are great! Check them out! Just plug "God's Billboards" in Google and click on the top sites.

Like the originals, these new "quotes" vary from witty to thought-provoking. For instance:

* All I know ... is everything. -God

* If you must curse, use your own name! -God

* The real Supreme Court meets up here. -God

As a public service (or disservice depending on how you look at it), I've rounded up the whole lot of God's Bilboard messages for your edification. If I have missed one, let me know.
