Good Morning, God,
Lord, thank you that our lives are more than bumper stickers! When we drive on our streets and highways and see what are on the backs of the vehicles in front of us, thank you that our lives are much richer, much fuller, much lovelier than a short, pithy slogan.
What do you like to see on a bumper sticker, Lord, when you are behind a vehicle? Do you like to see the fish symbol, the indication that the occupants are Christian? Do you wonder about the fish symbol that has sprouted legs to indicate that the occupants believe in evolution? Do you like the stickers that indicate the number of members of the family, including pets? Do you like the sticker that says that you are the drivers copilot, or would you rather see the one that says, "If God is your copilot, move over"?
Lord, bumper stickers are as good as headlines. Both fortunately and unfortunately, they speak of who we are and what we value. May we only stick stickers that please you, God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
