Most people, when they put things on their car, are pretty consistent. They either have religious things, or political messages (to the left or the right), and sometimes even offensive words and things. Some folks want nothing at all applied to their vehicle. You can kind of get a hint about what is important to someone by what they put on their car.
An exception to that is if someone buys a car and leaves on whatever the previous owner had applied, even though it does not represent him or her. We did this when we bought our Jeep. It had a cool “Mountain Home, Idaho” sticker with a little fighter jet that Deanne and I both thought was pretty cool, and a Fox sticker (motorcycle racing apparel?) that also stayed. Weird huh? I can’t explain it!
I pulled in behind this vehicle in the Taco Bell drive-through. It was different and it kinda took me by surprise. The first thing I noticed were the chrome naked ladies by the license plate… then the fish… and then the praying hands. What?
This person either wants it both ways, straddling the fence you might say… or could it possibly be a case of “his and hers”?
It got me thinking deeper about my own life. Am I personally consistent? Am I sending out mixed messages? Are the messages I am sending really mine, or are they somebody elses? Can people tell where my passions are? Am I a “sold-out” friend of Jesus, or am I thinking I’m following Him and at the same time trying to chase after the things of this world?
Something worth considering, for sure.
