Caroline has suggested for the longest time that we make an effort to capture the many hundreds of religious signs that dot the American countryside from small towns to major metropolises offering advice, condemnation, warning, and salvation. Without a Daddy Deep-Pockets financing our ambling about we have many stops and little time to do-it-all and the signs have been assigned a low priority for photography. The sign above, though, caught our eye, and we felt it was worthy of being a photo of the day.

One of Caroline’s favorites was seen last year in Vernal, Utah, while on our way into Dinosaur National Monument. The sign from First Baptist Church read, “By Perseverance The Snail Reached The Ark”. Suppose telling you that her mom nicknamed Caroline ‘Schnecke’ at the time she was born would help you see the connection to this particular blurb. Even Dairy Queen has been known to get into the sign proselytizing; when out near Needles, California at Easter time we saw that someone replaced the daily Blizzard special with the more denominational “Happy Resurrection Day”. Schnecke, German for snail.
