Give us a dollar...
Johnny and I have the perfect scenerio all planned out. You know how most people dream of retiring and traveling around in the rv--well, we think it makes more sense to do it now--with our boys. Wouldn't it be great to teach them about rock formations while taking a hike in the rockies or after reading a silly story about alligators going for a swamp tour in the bayou...man the possibilities. Stay a month here, a month there--meeting people from all walks of life, sharing Christ and being a part of God's work in different geographical locations--man, it would be great!!
For those of you who are more literal and need a better rationale than just the day dreaming type thing, educational theory has proven we are more apt to learn from what we experience--so when we limit ourselves to daily routine--same job, same grocery store, same scenery, same friends, same church... aren't we in a sense limiting ourselves intellectally? We all know those people "who haven't been out much" but in a sense we all do that...I mean, we live in Mississippi--I'm just saying :) Besides limiting our intelligence what about our spirituality? Jesus walked around and explored and so did/does many of his followers-just walking and spreading the message as they went/go.
We have talked about how great it would be to that for a few years--we have even looked at rv's before (when we were moving to CA a couple of years ago we thought about doing it). So, we wonder how in the world we could make it happen--we could write some best-selling books, publish some songs, somehow be sought after speakers, but since none of that seems to be happening in our near future, we thought of a good plan...
If you and every person you know and every person they know and every person they know gives us a dollar we could live our dream. So, it's that easy--give us a dollar--hand it to us, give it to someone we mutually know, mail it to us (1396 CR 197, Blue Springs MS 38828) and what do you get in return--the satifsfaction of knowing you had an investment in helping someone live a dream! And hey, we will put your names in the best selling-book b/c I am sure with all the sights and beautful surroundings, inspiration will come--right? Dreams...whatever happened to all those dreams we use to dream? It can be some fun stuff...dream a little--what does it hurt? In the meantime, as we live dying, live a meaningful life--oh, and don't forget to send the dollar!
