Having checked out the Route 66 fire hydrants in Sullivan, Missouri, John and Joy head down the road to Cuba…Missouri. Just as Sullivan is known for its fire hydrants, Cuba is known for its murals. It is even called “The Mural City”. In the small town of 3,000, sixteen businesses have had murals painted on the side of their buildings giving the history of their town and of Route 66 passing through their town. Joy and John pick the mural on the side of Danny’s Gas Hole to shoot the video for Episode Four of “The Road to Somewhere”. Having given a brief description of Cuba, John transitions to the biblical book that corresponds to this stop. It is the book of I Samuel and it tells the story of a major change in the nation of Israel from a tribal confederacy with God as its king to a monarchy with a human king. You will meet Samuel the prophet, Saul the first king, and a young man by the name of David who will one day become the second king of Israel. So this week is filled with great material and I hope you will join us as we continue down the road and through the book. The links to today’s episode are below:
