Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in
all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
I grew up during the 60s and 70s, in a family that loved to
travel. Some of my earliest memories are of traveling across the united states,
looking at life from the rear view window of a VW bug. When my sister was born,
our family went from three to four and our parents traded in the VW Bug for a
VW Bus. (And yes, the picture above is family. We're in Big Bend National Park in 1969.)
Oh the places we visited.
I’ve been out west in a blizzard so fierce we had to scrape
ice from the inside of the windows. I’ve cooked an egg on the pavement in Death
Valley, and spent several nights camping on top of what used to be Mount St.
Helens. But only a small percentage of our time on the road was spent on major
highways.
