The Blu Pig and the traveling spirit

So last night we're eating at a wonderful little Barbecue joint called the Blu Pig... which, by the way is a cool place with great ribs and pulled pork and some dude absolutely tearing it up playin' jazz on a Fender Stratocaster!

Anyhow, some friends stopped by the table to say hi, and they said something that struck me...

While describing some new neighbors who had moved in next door a year or so ago, they told us that these recent retirees from California had brought their tricked-out RV with them to Mountain Home... of course they planned to travel in it often and 'see the sights' so to speak...

But a funny thing happened when they settled in here... God has placed so much natural beauty and so many great people in this place we call home, that they told our friends "there is no reason to go anywhere... this place has it all!" ...and their RV has never left the driveway...

Wow, what a chamber of commerce commercial!

But it made me think of how we will feel when we finally get Home...

'cause I believe God gave His kiddos a spirit of adventure; I think He gave us an itch to travel... so we do that a lot throughout our lives...

maybe it's an instinctive need, a 'DNA-level' bent to always be moving...

but I can imagine us 'bringing' that with us to our eternal house... and, like these California transplants, I can envision us arriving.... then looking around... then parking the RV forever...

God Bless! enjoy the weekend!
