#RoadTrip12: Walking in Memphis

#RoadTrip12: Quick Update

Then I’m walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Alex and I arrived in the land of the Delta Blues yesterday, as Marc Cohn once sang. And P.S.–––I was positive that Bruce Springsteen wrote “Walking in Memphis.”

Who knew?

In fact… ask anybody who sings that song and nine times out of ten, they’ll answer “The Boss.” How misleading.

Two things immediately stuck out about our time in Memphis. First, the smells are ridiculous… in a good way. Barbecue, barbecue, barbecue everywhere. And second, it is hotter than a mug in that city. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun/interesting/the sunset over the Mississippi was great, but I’m not sure I ever want to go back.

Is that wrong?

On top of that, we found late yesterday that Alex’s wallet was lost/stolen. We made the discovery sometime after dinner and it was crazytown from that point out. We didn’t find it (and all of his cards are cancelled, you crazies).

Needless to say, our Memphis leg was not the best portion of the trip yet, but God is still 100% in charge and we can rest in that.

    There is nothing wrong in not “wanting” to go back to Memphis but according to the itinerary, you’ll be walking in Memphis, sooner than you think (sorry Alex about your wallet)! Upon returning to Memphis (like it or not) I am praying that in the 2 hours and 55 minutes that you are allotted, that you can find a local Police Station or something, where Alex’s wallet will have been turned in. It only takes one good Samaritan or it only takes one, not so good person to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do! I mean really, isn’t this just like satan, to come in and “try” to stop the Pace, steal from that Place or try destroy gaining new Perspective? No one, not even satan can stop two highly favored men of God who have set out on a mission, in a MegaWay, on a MegaBus for a MegaGod! XOXOXO
