June 1, 2015 – Dayspring Disciples

Since we first started sharing with people that we’d be traversing the country we’ve been treated to much commentary. One of the things we heard repeatedly was how boring Kansas would be. “Just miles and miles of corn,” “Vast expanses of nuthin,” and “Watch out for tornados.”

If we saw corn, it was not yet knee high to any insects.
And they’ve done a really good job of covering up the expanses of nothing with buildings, animals, and businesses.
And we are grateful God saw fit to spare us any tornados.

I’ll be honest. In my research of things to do between Kansas City, MO, and Colorado Springs, CO, I did not turn up a ton of prospects. But one thing suggested by TripAdvisor was something called Monument Rocks, and/or Chalk Rocks. Now, this place doesn’t have any real website… and details on arriving at the destination are sketchy. Mapquest and GoogleMaps don’t recognize the request, and no address exists to punch into the GPS. But if you are willing to deviate off of the most direct route from A to B, use a Paper Map, and foray down 7 miles of rutted dirt roads, you will be rewarded.

No more words.

This is an amazing thing…
The kids BEGGED to stay. When we first tried to leave, I literally heard begging and pleading.
Rocks. Free rocks.
No admission fee.
No princess meet and greets.

No FastPass.

Rocks.

Now, maybe it was because it was compared to more van time. But it was nice.

2 Peter 3:5 –

For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,
