We had a long way to go today so we made some decisions that we found to be usual for us, but turned out pretty good. We found the Heritage Church of Christ in Franklin and they had a 9 a.m. service online so we called them to see if we could prevail on them to give us the now commonplace “rip and sip” communion elements and were able to get on the road by 8:45 in time to stream the service through the Bluetooth on the car radio while we drove. This may be something you’ve already done but it was new to us and it allowed us to be in two places at once; in the car driving and in church worshiping. Ain’t technology grand!
The rest of the trip was boring with nothing noteworthy driving over 650 miles to get to Topeka, Kansas. We did catch a glimpse of the Arch as we passed through St. Louis but we’ve been there, done that.
By 7 p.m. my rear end was tired and we spent the last hour driving into the sun going west. Bummer! I know tomorrow will be better because we get to do something other than sit.
One question everyone asks is “What’s in Topeka?”. My answer is I have no idea which is why we are going there but also so we can legitimately say we have been to all 50 states in our travels. When we were in Kansas City, Missouri a few years back, realizing we had not been to Kansas, we drove across the border into Kansas and just turned around and came back so that we could make our 50 state statement. Today, we are legitimately in Kansas and we will be taking a walking tour of the city to see all the historic buildings and savor this historic city.
