What a start . . .
So our two-day, fifteen-hour drive from North Carolina to Arkansas included an overnight stay in Mississippi and a myriad of conversation topics about marriage, the state of the Church, international development, Greek Life and a few minor arguments for the sake of debating. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of individuals to experience my first road trip with. Since our arrival to Southern Arkansas University we have been warmly welcomed by the students and staff. We were given a campus tour that included the introduction to the new “Reynolds” building, which happens to be the newest and nicest infrastructure on campus. Made me wonder, does he have any relations to R.J. Reynolds? Where they distant cousins? Does he invest in Tobacco? Who knows, it could be a coincident that two white men in the south and deep South become very wealthy and donate to institutions of Higher Education. Not to digress, I have to give a shout out to Kyle, Corey, Bradley, Mary, and Manuela (hope I didn’t misspell anyone’s name). They have to be some of the coolest people I’ve met . . . anywhere. If this start is indicative to the rest of the week, I am full of anticipation.
