Traveling at the speed of life

Life and travel was, at once, simpler and more difficult in Biblical times. Traveling on foot, on horseback, and/or by boat, you could get where you were going, but there was no telling when! Wonder what Paul, God's great missionary, would think about RVing. His journeys took him from Israel to Rome and places in-between. A motorhome would have been a great asset to him. I can imagine that he would have shared the gospel with people all over Europe! Can you picture him at the wheel of a Winnebago that has Romans 1:16 artfully emblazoned across the sides, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ..."? Mail was much simpler then--hand delivered letters--that is, of course, if the messenger was not eaten by a lion along the way. Simpler and yet more difficult--the speed of life in Biblical times.

Today, the speed of life can be fast, but not always. Sometimes, we, in our motorhome, need to let life (bills) catch up to us. Sometimes, we are imprisoned by repairs or maintenance. And, sometimes, when our welcome at the RV park has run out, (usually 14 days) we must move on. Our speed varies from week to week--never as slow as Paul but sometimes hindered and sometimes enhanced by the same thing--life.
