Paying attention to the stop signs-a yizkor message

News item: An idea to give drivers pause
Oak Lawn officials are hoping some creative signage will get motorists to hit the brakes

If the red, octagon-shaped, universally known stop signs aren't enough to get motorists in Oak Lawn to step on the brakes, the mayor hopes adding a snide or comic remark will.
Signs in the same shape and color with such sayings as "and smell the roses," "right there pilgrim," "or we'll hunt you down" and "means that you aren't moving," were attached to 50 stop signs in a campaign launched Friday by Mayor Dave Heilmann.The new signs were placed at troublesome intersections and near schools, Heilmann said. Too often, drivers roll past those signs, barely tapping the brakes."I thought it might make people smile and take notice," he said. "You've got people on their cell phones, their BlackBerries and iPods while driving. Those are all distractions. Hopefully, when they see a sign they're not expecting it might make them stop."

My reflection" Do we roll through the signs telling us to stop? What will it take to wake us up?
1. Our health? eating, drinking, smoking, not exercising2.
2. Our realtionships-children? Spouses? Parents? Freinds
3. God? Sinning
4. Rolling through life, going through the motions?
5. Is the Torah our stop sign? is Yizkor>
