The Value of Bumper Stickers on One's Laptop

Yeah, I do that hipster thing. I have college, coffee, and Christian bumper stickers, one for frozen yogurt, and a backpack logo, all on the front of my Mac. It makes me look cool, smart, holy, adventurous, fun, and concerned for the environment, all at once. There's really no losing with these stickers, even though Dr. Mask told me once that he would be disgusted if his daughter did that to her laptop.

Plus, my laptop bumper stickers have invited some interesting conversations over the past week. A couple at the library stopped me several days ago to ask about the "Together for the Gospel" sticker that I got from a Gospel Coalition conference in Chicago, and we talked a while about our mutual faith and the work I'm doing this summer. Today in Rosa's, the little local coffee shop in downtown Suffolk, a friendly woman at the table next to mine noticed my Covenant sticker and asked about it. Turns out, her cousin goes to Covenant-- and her cousin happens to be one of the first people I met there. In fact, I had lunch at her house during one of my first Sundays on Lookout Mountain!

So there you have it. Another benefit to stickering up your laptop. You're cool, you're smart, you're holy, you're adventurous and fun and environmentally conscious-- and you'll probably have more friends.
