On our last day of the trip, it was pretty much a travel day, as we headed back toward North Carolina. However, we were able to squeeze in a few more stops in what was a fruitful and fun trip. First, we began the morning with a brief tour of Southern Seminary, our host for the week, where a student guide shared with us a little about what Southern does to train future ministry leaders, as well as point out the functions of different buildings and departments. Then, we hit the road. As we passed through Lexington again, we this time stopped for a mini-tour of the Old Kentucky Chocolates Factory, where we got an insiders tour at how they make their delectable treats, and followed that up with shopping in their store. Next door was our lunch stop, "Butt Rubb in' BBQ," which despite the risqué title, was actually a wonderful restaurant. The proprietor was a nice lady named Leigh, who got quite emotional when the choir sang "Happy Birthday" to her in the restaurant. That was a nice ministry moment to finish up the tour with. The rest of the trip was pleasantly uneventful, with lots of fellowship opportunities, rest, and an Andy Griffith marathon on the bus DVD. We arrived back in NC safe and sound thanks to the Lord's graces, and right on schedule.
