This morning, on the inside windshield
of the taxi I was riding in there was a
sticker that said, 'This car protected by
the blood of Christ.' I thought, maybe
so, but I hope the guy’s a good driver.
Actually, there was a second sticker
right below the first one that said the
exact same thing. I guess his car needs a
double dose of Christ's blood for
protection. I kind of wished the stickers
had drawings of blood flowing down
the lettering, like on a heavy metal
poster. I think that would have more
impact, kind of like those statuettes of
Christ on the cross with blood flowing
liberally from the nail holes and crown.
Amazingly, the driver got me to my
destination without any problem. I
guess that Christ's blood thing really
works. But I can't imagine it always
does. I mean, there are millions of cars
and there's only so much of Christ's
blood to go around. Maybe just a
molecule of blood would suffice. If so,
then the stickers should say, 'This car
protected by a molecule of Christ's
blood.'
