JESUS07

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I'm a big fan of vanity plates, especially deciphering the messages they are supposed to be communicating. But I am completely stumped by this one.


Here are a few possibilities:

• The driver is hispanic, and their name is Jesus (pronounced HEH-soos). They graduated high school in 2007.
• The driver is hispanic and owns six (06) other cars. The other cars have plates that read, "Jesus 01", "Jesus 02", etc.
• Someone named Jesus ran for office sometime in 2007; the driver was a faithful supporter.
• The driver is a devout Christian who was caught up in the early stages of the 2008 presidential election, but wanted to make a social and theological statement about their beliefs. VOTE Jesus 07!
• The driver is a devout Christian who likes to study the end times (eschatology). A thorough interpretation of Revelation and an observant look at the world revealed to this person that Jesus was coming back in 2007. (In which case, I assume they were pretty disappointed New Year's Day 2008.)
• Upon further examination, the driver now realizes he/she was off by 1000 years (Revelation is so tricky), and therefore kept the plate because now Jesus is returning in 3007.

There, and back again

Last week we took a road trip to Georgia and back. We wanted to visit Macon one more time before moving there, and we wanted to go to the wedding of our dear friend Shelby, which was in Atlanta.


Road trips are not as easy as they used to be. I used to drive home from college in only one stop and that was to get gas and food. Now, we're lucky to make it 3 hours without stopping. But if nothing else, there are always stories to tell at the end of the day.


So over the next few days, I'm going to share some stories from the road. Adventures, conversations, and other tidbits that happened on our way there, and back again.

The Natural

As the baseball regular season draws to a close and we grieve the Braves so close yet so far last week *sigh*, the game lives on here in our backyard.


Isaiah received a tee ball set in May from Aunt Riri and then spent the summer hacking away at the tee (not the ball). This is no surprise because who really expects a 2 1/2 year old to be able to hit a ball off a tee.
