IN GOD WE TRUST AND THANK YOU JESUS

I don't know about you, but I find it kind of worrisome what some Evangelical Christians are up to.  I wrote on In God We Trust and Under God before.*  As for money, my question is In God We Trust What?  That the money is worth something?

Phrases like In God We Trust mean a lot to some people, and they even got it to be the National Motto in 1956 replacing the traditional E Pluribus Unum (for a lost of national mottos, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_mottos).

A newer effort to me is signs that say Thank You Jesus.  At any rate, there is now a project Blitz that wants to put In God We Trust on many things such as Police cars.  What does that mean?  In God We Trust you won't arrest me or, ugh, won't shoot me?**

In Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee, so-called “In God We Trust” bills have become law since 2017, which will see the phrase emblazoned on public buildings, hung in schools and displayed on the side of public vehicles including police cars.**


Newer are signs that say Thank You Jesus***

The idea started as an Easter project in 2015, and it's evolved into a message to be celebrated year-round.
"Really, it's a Christmas message," Hunt said. "Without Christmas, you wouldn't have Easter."

The sign means something different to everybody who owns one. For some, it's a reminder to give thanks.
"A lot of us have heard stories about how the sign has impacted them on their life," Hunt said.
For others, it's a sign of hope.
"Whether you do believe or don't believe, we hope that it plants a seed in somebody's heart," Hunt added.
For Hunt and his team, the signs have come to represent giving back.
"It was all about planting them, instead of selling them," he said.

When the project took off, and the money started rolling in,
Hunt knew he didn't want to keep it.  He and the signs' co-creator Connie Frazier decided to create a non-profit, the Thank You Jesus Mission, to donate grants to local Christian organizations.  
Every time you see one of these signs, you know it's funding projects like serving breakfast and a Bible study for homeless people in Davidson County, providing transportation for after-school programs for low-income kids in Rowan County and helping to fund an upcoming conference in Concord for pastors in small towns and rural areas.***

While I am grateful for many things such the pleasant life I live and the longevity I have been given, still with a reasonably good mind and health.  While I have arthritis that is slowly crippling me, it is manageable and I give thanks for that too.
