Inspired by Mike Southerland's pictures on his blog of his van with Blue Flames, the guys decided along the way to get creative with our mundane van. A little shoe polish picked up at a gas station somewhere (maybe Maryland) and some intense brainstorming produced the desired effect.
But where else in the world can you show up in a 15 passanger white van covered in obscure slogans and scripture, with a multitude of children, including one passionate bag-piper, a bunch of treasure hunters, a portable library, camping gear and a complete set of historical costumes -- and then find that you aren't the ONLY family there that fits that exact description!! We loved the
Thomas Family at first sight.
"A RAG MAN" is our anagram of ANAGRAM, and our tribute to all of those who spent vast, copious amounts of time shifting letters around trying to make ANYTHING intelligible appear. It was really fun watching peoples expressions as they read the van. Treasure Hunters laughed, the general public looked rather puzzled as they tried to figure out what our van meant. One person at a gas station hollered, "Hey Man, What's a Bow-di-knot?!" It gave Keith an opportunity to educate someone about the many significant gifts and accomplishments of our hero,
Elias Boudinot.
HEBREWS 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
