On my commute to and from work, I pass several churches on the way. They all have a sign out front, inviting people to come and visit. I always read the signs (I think I read everything!) because sometimes they are funny (intentionally or unintentionally).
However, the sign out front of one particular church today made me wonder what exactly they were inferring. It said “We Welcome Sinners. Especially Pilots”.
What do you suppose they meant by that remark? That if the pilot was a sinner, the plane would crash? Forget about all the non-sinning persons on board!
What about the passengers? If a sinful pilot could cause the plane to crash, couldn’t a sinful passenger? Then what difference would it make whether the pilot was a sinner or not?
Or were they saying a sinful pilot would WANT the plane to crash? I find that hard to believe. What sinner WANTS to die?
That’s the kind of stupid stuff that goes through my head when I read signs like that. How about you?

Was it a really small town? Maybe there was only one pilot around and they were nagging him to come to church.
I never thought the sign might be personal, but does nagging EVER work?
I always thought the signs were posted to make you think. This one has definitely done that.
I usually just shake my head when I read those signs. :)
