Wow! Where do I start? Memphis is an amazing city with so much history and a unique culture that is unlike any city I've ever visited. Church was good at Mississippi Blvd. Christian Church. The service was very lively, the music was great, and the message on "Love" was very encouraging.
After service, we visited the Civil Rights Museum and I enjoyed every bit of it. It made me think about the things we take for granted, and it also helped me realized the passion these civil rights leaders had for the things they fought for. It nearly brought tears to my eyes when we were able to walk through the Lorraine Motel and see Dr. King's actual room and the spot on the balcony where he was shot. Growing up we hear these stories over and over and don't really pay much attention to them, but today provided me with another perspective and I will never view these events in the same way again. We had a tour guide who was born and raised in Memphis and was excellent when it came to explaining the history of events to our group. Well it's been a long day and I'm tired, in the morning we're on to our next stop, Oxford!
Great ribs, great people, priceless history, good times...gotta love Memphis...
