Groly be to God!


I have friends in the States who post Bible verses on their semi trucks, or display pro-life bumper stickers on their cars.

Here in Zambia, mini buses, cars, and trucks are typically inscribed with some sort of message. Mini busses often have religious messages, like “Jesus is Lord,” or “Abba Father” lettered across the front. Once in Choma, I saw a huge, pink semi tractor that said, “The Wife said I could” in fancy letters across the back of the cab.

But last week’s sighting took the cake. Heather and I wish we had a picture of the flat nosed semi that read, “Groly be to God” in large, fancy lettering across the front of the truck.

Yes, indeed, Groly be to God. He is worthy, and I’m sure he doesn't mind when L’s and R’s are switched, as is commonplace here!

*Sorry, no picture of this remarkable truck! You’ll just have to take my word for it… or better yet, come see it for yourself!*

  2. Hummmm... R's and L's.... wonder why those two?

    Fun story even without the pic.

  3. Jimmy's sermons are not spell checked cause your eye just needs the first and last letters to be right to recognized the word. So maybe one of Jimmy's sermons say Groly to God!
