One of the results of Steve and I sharing a car since last summer, is that when I want the car to run errands, I have to drive him to work and then go pick him up later on. On these trips back and forth in busy New Jersey traffic I see a lot of odd things, and I sit in a lot of traffic jams. Last week I sat in a traffic jam behind this van for many, many miles. (Before the many caring parental figures in my life chastise me for using my phone while driving, please let me assure you that we were at a complete and full stop for at least an entire minute when this picture was taken).
A few thoughts...
- a pastor friend once told me he didn't want a cross on his car, lest his poor driving reflect poorly on all of Christendom... I feel likewise about identifying myself via my vehicle (as a Christian or otherwise).
- If the person in the van above (I never did see them, they were always in front of me) cuts you off, or behaves poorly on the road, how then would you feel about Jesus Christ? This is hypothetical, as we didn't have occasion for poor behavior sitting still in our traffic jam.
- If you choose to evangelize via your vehicle, I am not judging, just pondering.
- Something about this makes me expect to read Jesus Christ is an Honor Student at Heaven Middle School...
