humbleness lesson of the day

i was driving behind a car with a JESUS fish on it. he was going slower than i would like, so i moved into the right lane (knowing the left lane would be ending anyway) and passed him. we got to the point where the left lane ended and he had to merge behind me, at which point, he flipped me off. i was all prepared to come home and have my fb status say something like, 'nice job flipping me off, dude in the JESUS fish car.' and then i realized the words that come out of my mouth when i get irritated when someone cuts me off or rides my butt or what have you. while i might not be showing them to the other driver, they're not very nice. (hm...what's the one time my nieces have heard me swear?)
i'm the last one who can throw a stone at that guy.

And that is why I don't have a Jesus fish on my car. Although, I should probably remove the Ron Paul bumper sticker too, as I might not be doing him any favors....

well, yes. i'm not saying the fish was the problem. the problem was that not only was i judging him, i kind of have a plank in my own eye here.

I don't flip people off (although I have), but I'm not the best driver, that's for sure.

i know what you're saying. i've often had thoughts like chelley's - that it's a good thing i don't have a Jesus fish on my car - when really i should be driving (and living my life) as if i do

Daddy won't let me put Christian things on the back of my car for that reason...although he doesn't really do anything and (neither do I), but he figures someday we might...
