I was driving to church today and a car came up behind me. I was doing about 5 miles over the speed limit and he was climbing in my trunk, he was so close. I maintained my speed and waited until I could move over. The green Chevrolet Lumina sped past me, obviously irritated that I had been going so slow. The occupants were in dress clothes and the driver glared at me as he passed. The others seemed preoccupied.
On the car’s rear bumper was a sticker that read “tune to 100.8 AM for a BIBLICAL perspective”.
Does the BIBLICAL perspective include "intimidate to get ahead", "go ahead and violate the speed limit" and "me first"?
The message of one's life is so much more rich than the bumper stickers we put on our stuff. The other part is that there is what we believe and then there is what we live. As I have gotten older I have realized that they can be pretty far apart.

I have to agree with you here. I have found as I've gotten older even the things that I believe and live can be very far apart at times. The problem is, I don't recognize it until I look back and go, "ooh...that wasn't very good to do." I never really noticed it as a child...I just remember being confused when my mother would say, "Do as I say, not as I do." Now I understand much more clearly what that really means.
my idea for a bumper sticker: HWJD?
(How would Jesus drive?)
Was also an idea for an essay that I wrote a few years ago... but maybe the bumper sticker has a better chance of "sticking"?
