With the introduction of the new Tennessee license plates I have started a new car game. Maybe some of you are also playing this game. It is best played when stopped a red light for many reasons.

Road trips, especially with young children, have given birth to a number of games to be played in the car.
How many different state license plates can you spot? See a cow and say moo. Everyone picks a restaurant and earns points if they see an actual restaurant or sign. The list goes on and on.

Have I got your attention? Well, here it is…does the new license plate have “In God We Trust” encircled around the three stars in the middle. If it does it is in the smallest print on the plate, so you have to be close up to check. You don’t want to be tailgating anyone which is why I say it is best played when you are stopped in traffic.
Not every plate has “In God We Trust” imprinted on it. You have a choice whether you want to have it on your new license plate. Both examples are prominently displayed on the counters at the Bedford County Clerk’s office.
According to the clerk’s office nine out of 10Bedford County residents are asking for the “In God We Trust” plate. That is great. I’m not sure what the percentage is in the state, but I doubt it is close to that number.
I know some people have issues with “In God We Trust” being printed on anything. It is great to know that in Bedford County so many people want it to be a part of their plates.
Those who choose to include it on their plates are making a subtle, but important statement. God has got this as the posters say.
In this day and time, we need to trust in something. What many are choosing to trust isn’t working. The world is a mess in case you haven’t noticed.
God has always asked us to trust in Him. If you haven’t been doing that, I would suggest that in the chaos surrounding us there has been no better time to make the decision to trust in God.
Trying to straighten out what is going on in this world is a tall order. It goes beyond governments and philosophies. To trust God is a matter of faith. It is time for all of us to take that leap.
