Once, when I was a youth group leader at my church, one of the kids asked me why I didn't have a Jesus fish symbol or anything else, that would let people know that I'm a Christian, on my car.
My answer: I don't want people to know that I'm a Christian when I'm stuck behind one of those rolling road blocks in which some $%@$%@#^@ driver insists on driving 10 mph under the speed limit. It's not a pretty site when road rage kicks in.
I'm a much mellow driver now. One event relieved me of my road rage:
I was driving on one of those winding canyon roads east of L.A. at what I thought was the fastest safe speed for that road when a motorcyclist behind me became unsatisfied with my speed and attempted to pass me several times. Each time oncoming traffic appeared from around a bend in the road. Finally he (or she, I couldn't tell with the motorcycle wear) passed me. Fifteen minutes later, the traffic came to a halt. As I passed the accident site, I saw the reason for the delay in traffic. The motorcyclist, who had earlier passed me, drove through (yes, you read correctly: drove through) a tractor trailer rig and fell into the canyon.

About Me
These are some pictures from one of my summer project trips. In Kyrgyzstan, I designed and built (with a lot of help from my friends) a recording studio for Kyrgyz musicians.

Things That Interest Me:
Any place with good lighting (There's a compelling photo opportunity in very place you go; however, not every compelling photo opportunity comes with decent lighting.)
Any music that is very good (There's very good and very bad music in very genre). I especially like finding really good music that most people have yet to hear.
Anybody who can really tell his/her life story. (Nobody's life is boring; you just have to ask the right questions. Unfortunately, life's too short to figure out the right questions to ask some people.)
Better, yet: A great picture that tells a great story while exotic music plays.
e.g., One of my favorite pictures from my time in Istanbul: a cat on the window sill, listening to the call to prayer.
Usually, it's a cat on the inside looking out. Why is this cat on the outside? Is it a stray wishing for a home? Is it a pet who was accidently shut out? Or did the owner put it out to teach it a lesson?

(The picture was taken shortly after the great earthquake of 1999. I suspect that the cat may be a little fearful of going back inside.)

You don't need a symbol to let people you're a christian, it all about where your heart is. Fast or slow the Lord still love you. God bless.
Lol! Yes, that would have been the theologically correct answer.
