This is the drive that never ends it goes on and on my friends

Day 2 started at eight when we headed out from our hotel and hit the road. We drove through Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and a little bit of Mississippi. We reached our second hotel of the trip in Memphis, Tennessee at about 6:45. Went and ate at CiCi's pizza, pasta and more for dinner. And then took a dip in the pool and so far that has been our day. To end our day Logan Knutson shared a devotional with the group. Thanks for reading but now for more on the poem!


This is the drive that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
as we did drive a lot of bends
we played Pictionary with our pens
and every one is best of friends

P.S. Our card reader broke. Sorry! We'll get you the pictures as soon as possible.

Rock on guys! When we drove to LA from MN it was a bear, but later we were glad to be there. :) (looking forward to more of your poem entries.)
May your group be recognized as friendly and inviting, mixing well with all of the other groups there (even after Sat's drive). I pray that you would mix so well that, if asked, other groups would choose you first as a ministry partner. On the cultural note, I pray that you would know which items to embrace as new and unique to the area, which to avoid as detrimental, and which to redeem.
