It was a sad day when I decided to sell my pick-up truck. This was back at least twenty-one years ago while we were living in Alaska. We owed money on a travel trailer and the pick-up truck, while managing on a modest pastor’s salary. After taking a hard look at our finances, it was decided they both had to go.
