Reflections from the Road

Larry retired July 1, 2008 from 44 years as a clergyperson in the PCUSA. Helen and Larry sold their properties in north Atlanta, bought an RV and are now travelling the USA in a 31' Open Range 'Roamer' 5th wheel pulled by a Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins 6.7 liter turbo-diesel engine. They both enjoy flyfishing, pull for the Ole Miss Rebels and the Boise State Broncos, enjoy their grandchildren and call home wherever they park the Open Range, though their mailing address is Livingson, Texas.

Surrounded by New Interesting and Compassionaste Friends

I've got some very interesting neighbors here in Idaho @ our RV Resort. They include a professional bullrider (see old post about him), a Vietnam sniper, and an atheist. Interestingly enough, the atheist is one of the most Christ-like and compassion, honest persons I've ever met! He's become a great friend and we have many good and grace-filled discussions. The bullrider yesterday gave me his remaining rodeo item, a jacket embrazned with "Professional Bullrider". Now, all I have to do is find a mechanical bull in a mall and ride him, thus allowing me to wear the jacket! (lol). The Sniper talks only in very guarded terms of his sniper missions, understandably so. Life is an everyday surprise on the road, and I'm thankful to God.
