A Christian Bumper Sticker?

I have been contemplating the idea of putting a Christian bumper sticker on my car. I have actually been thinking about this for the last year or so. The thing is, I want everyone to know I AM a christian and that Jesus has saved me. I want it to spark interest with someone who doesn't know Jesus. The dilemma is this... I often speed and by often I mean every time I drive. I always forget my blinker for some reason this makes other drivers not appreciate my awesome driving capabilities. I have been pulled over so many times, they run together. The only police officer I actually remember is Officer Geraldo (I only remember his name because of Geraldo Rivera). I have not received tickets for all of these, but the few I have, seem to hit my purse very hard. Patience is not something that I have, I pray for it all the time and just when I think I am getting it. Behold my impatient fleshy self comes to the front! My husband also drives my car and I think his middle name is "impatience", he's annoyed when people drive slowly or walk slowly across the street. He stalks people as if they are his prey to get the best parking spot in the parking area. Although he does drive this way, I must include that in his daily life with me he is VERY patient. I am often amazed at how patient he is, sometimes I frustrate myself with my own emotions, but he is consistently loving and calm. I just feel as if the way we drive is not showing patience towards others, not the way God wants us to be. Patience is mentioned pretty often in the Bible, and its a virtue I would love to have. With Gods help, I think in the future we will be able to put that bumper sticker on the car and show patience towards others. Until then I guess, the verdict is... no bumper sticker.
