Giving up our “stick and bricks” home to live full-time in our RV meant some major downsizing. Everything we own is an arm’s reach away. Every week is a new campsite in a new town.

Thankfully, we’ve been overwhelmed with kindness as we make our way across the country. Fishermen have let my kids reel in their fish, probably because I can’t catch anything (I guess it would be weird to let me reel it in, but I wouldn’t say no.) We had the sweetest couple invite us to church and onto their motor boat. Although when they let my son take the helm, I quickly wrapped myself in a life vest.

However, as a father of four, I can’t always let my guard down. There are thieves and knaves around RVs and campers, too.
