Random Ramblings of Dia: Things that are more fun in an SUV

Romans 10:12-17

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" 16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Things that are more fun in an SUV

I realized that there are certain things that are more fun when you drive an SUV. I am sure that I will be able to add to the list at some point in the future, but here are a few things just from this weekend:

Starbucks drive-through – maybe I am just paranoid because of the horror stories of McDonald's coffee spilling on the woman that we heard over and over in law school, but I was always concerned anytime the Starbucks worker passed my cup of hot coffee down to me while I sat in drive through. The window was just too high for me to have a comfort level when accepting my drink. Not any more – I can look the worker right in the eye and the drink does not have to go anywhere but horizontal from the window to my cup holder. This will make Starbucks a more enjoyable experience.
Dirt roads – for the first time, I was able to drive on a dirt road without the fear of busting a hole in my muffler (something I did quite often in high school). It was definitely nice to be higher off the ground!
A dirty car – mud just looks better on an SUV than it does on a car. Of course, having a black dust covered car will necessitate a trip to get it washed sometime this week, but a dirty SUV is still more fun than a dirty car.
