The Autobiography of a Bumper Sticker

I passed a bumper sticker today, it read the words, "Obama 08." A bumper sticker tells a lot about the person who is sitting in front of you at the red light. Its amazing how quick you can judge a person by what is sticking to the back window of their car. For some, it is the one bumper sticker that tells it all -- "Support the troops" -- "Breast Cancer Awareness" -- One political statement -- OR -- the simple Christian fish. For others, there is the excessive amount of bumper stickers. This person is the activist or maybe the obsessed.

For most of my high school career I had a little dude that pointed to the sky with a Bible in his hand. I recently took this little dude off. I have a yellow truck -- without this little dude tattooed to the right corner of my back windshield people didn't know if it was my car or not.

Others associated me with a bumper sticker.

I took the bumper sticker off of my yellow automobile for a couple of reasons. (1) I replaced it with a cooler one that says, "Love Wins" (2) I didn't want people to associate me with Christianity -- I wanted them to associate me with love. (3) I didn't want that little dude pointing to the Heavens and holding the Word of God to be the extent of my witness and example of Christ.

In conclusion, I like people without bumper stickers. They are a mystery. I can't judge them by what is on the back of their car. In the car, they have nothing to live by. I better be an example to them because I do have a bumper sticker. So whether it be for animal rights, civil rights, rebel flag and the cause of rednecks, the support of a future president, or something else -- May your bumper sticker tell much about who you are and who you are becoming -- May you not judge the person in the car in front of you who is obsessed with being a vegetarian -- And may you get to know the person who has no bumper sticker at all.

This has been "The Autobiography of a Bumper Sticker" --
