BILLBOARDS, ADS AND FINDING THE WAY

I do not know who is in charge of advertising agencies, but they need a new CEO.

We do appreciate the information provided on billboards because we can quickly find the nearest gas station, restaurant or hotel, but get real. At 65 mph, small print just does not make the grade and only my husband can remember a phone number that flies by at warp speed. Give me a name and an exit number! Leave the small print and detailed information to ads.

And ads, put in those details. When we travel, we see so many flyers with the name of the store or attraction and a street address, but no town. Well, duh! Don't you think that is a bit important? And you might know where Main and Market streets intersect, but I am trying to find my way from the interstate. Some help here please!

I am not even going to start offering my opinion on television ads.

Oh, no. Another of those whacks between the eyes. "Mary, when others see you, they see me. What does your billboard say? What does your life advertise? Will loved ones or strangers find their way to me by what you advertise?"

TODAYS SCRIPTURE: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY

Have you ever thought of yourself as a billboard or an advertisement? Well, you are and the question is, "What are you advertising?" What do people see as they drive by you? What do people see when they stop to take a closer look?

LET US PRAY

Today ask God, in your own words, words from your heart, to use you in such a way that everyone wants what you have. Let his light so shine through you that all want to hear the message you have to deliver.
