Clemson University's former football coach, Frank Howard, told the story of driving in Greenville, SC one day. He saw a bumper sticker on the car in front of him that read, "Honk if you love God."

Howard said, "I loved God, so I honked."

When he did, the woman in the car in front of him, the car with the bumper sticker on it, got out of her car fighting mad, shook her fist at Howard, and said, "You fool, you want me to smack you? Can't you see the light hasn't changed?"

Sometimes, you do what you think is the right thing, but boy do you get a reaction you didn’t expect.
Sometimes what you do is misinterpreted by someone else. The other person doesn’t "get" what you’re meaning.

You and me and everyone else in the world is misunderstood at one time or another. You just can’t keep that from happening. So what do you do? Explain when you’ll be heard, ask for forgiveness when necessary, and keep honking as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living today.
