Life Happens

11 March 2004, 1 pm | Faith, Opinion

Do you have a bumper sticker on your car? I don’t. Never found one that perfectly expressed my attitude or opinion.

Do you remember those bumper stickers a couple of years ago that read, “Shit Happens”?

I always thought that statement was mildly amusing because of its comment on how things tend to happen in life, especially if one leans toward perfectionism. The world is not perfect. Things are always getting messed up, especially when dealing with people. Nothing is ever neat and tidy and clean. Life is messy.

But where life is messy, there is, after all, life. And where there is life, there is always hope. And where there is hope, there is God.

I would like to see a new bumper sticker. I want it to read, “Life Happens”.

I’d put that bumper sticker on my car.
