What is the “THING” ?
If you have traveled on Interstate 10 through southern Arizona, you have, at some point, seen the billboard advertisements for the THING.
Almost icons unto themselves, these “see the THING” billboards are strategically placed. While driving for hours through the vast expanse of barren desert terrain, you can’t hardly stop yourself from wondering – and pondering – what is the THING?
At first you might think, “it’s just another scam to lure me into buying a ticket.” You clear your thoughts after the first billboard, get it out of your mind – only to be reminded again miles later as another billboard appears. You try not to see it, but the “THING” in bold letters works its way back into your thoughts.
Relentless reminders break down your resolve, and when the exit comes, you get off the road you are traveling, to “check it out”.
Thankfully, there are other billboards with “relentless reminders” to take us off the “road of life” we are traveling.
“JESUS – SAVES”
Stop and check “HIM” out !!
