Bounder on The Brain

     When we first bought the Bounder we were super excited about the possibilities of it. "We could live in it!" was the first thought, obviously. Like any other house or apartment you might be thinking about living in, we started imagining where things would go and how we would make it our own. At first that wasn't so easy since the day we bought it was filled to the brim with ECU Pirates paraphernalia and all we could see was purple and gold, distracting us from being able to think of how we could make it better.

 anywhoo

     As we thought about living in it more and more, we wanted to fix everything. The roof, the walls, replace the sconces, replace the curtains, put new carpet down, re-upholster everything, make the walls look better, etc, etc. We've decided to stick with a good bit of those things to conquer, but we've tried to do the things we can without getting in over our head. 

    Just riding in the road whale {pretty clever, eh?} makes me feel free. It's sits up so high and like Dave tried to explain in the most recent post, you can feel everything. We bounce a lot while going down the road and it's awesome. The wind shield is huge! The hugeness of it makes me feel like I can see everything. It's kind of like when you go from a regular tv to a wide screen tv, everything is in view and you can see the whole movie. Except in this case it's the landscape you can see without that pesky blind spot getting in the way. So good.

   We've had the Bounder on our brain a lot lately, thus a blog is born. We didn't and don't want to get loaded down by it though and we don't want our friends and family to get tired of hearing about it. Dave explained it best the other night while we were driving in the car.

Be prepared. This is about to get biblical.

    He said that we thought about the Bounder a bunch and that before having an RV he wouldn't have ever been up in Barnes and Noble peepin' the Trailer Life magazine. Not only because it'd be a pretty random thing to look for, but because of the title of the magazine alone. Trailer Life. It has a certain ring to it, ya know? Anyway, he compared that to knowing God. There's probably a slim chance that he'd be reading the Bible if someone didn't take the time to get him acquainted with God and help him to know how to go about having a legitimate relationship with God. The Bible and God aren't very popular subjects in some circles and it's pretty easy to see how Trailer Life could get a joke or two. If we just chunk a Trailer Life magazine at someone walking past us, they aren't very likely to be interested in it's contents, much like the Bible. I clearly understand the difference between the Bible and Trailer Life, but it is kind of the same idea. Throwing tracts or scripture in someone's face and letting them hash it out for themselves isn't the most effective way to help people understand what's so good about God. 

    Dave is good at metaphors. At least I think so. 

    You should check out Trailer Life though, it's cool. The Bible is legit too.
