There is solid biblical evidence that Jesus drove a Honda, although He was reticent to discuss it with others, as shown by the following passage: "For I did not speak of my own Accord ..." (St John 12:49, NIV)

Oh, OH--I'm gonna tell that one to my Sunday School class, Father Steve! I just threw back my head and laughed out loud, reading that! It made my husband groan, so I know it's good!

You don't think he's going to give it up that easily, Father. He'll make you twist slowly, slowly in the wind and then let the air out with a pun that was best left in the slush pile.

Oh, pooh on you , Mav, you tease.
It's beyond me, I am hung up on the meaning -- learned when Latin was required in high school --- Ora Pro Nobis translates Pray For Us.
Does that give anyone a hint?
