Moving Right Along...

Well, we've left Chicago and have stopped to rest in Indiana. We're headed to Indianapolis. For those of you looking at our itinerary we may have left you, know that you should use that as scratch paper.

Indiana will give us a deeper insight into our nation's heartland and we'll be visiting with new friends we met in Portland OR. It's truly a small country/world.

More to follow. I'm excited that I'll have quality time doing some more film edits to share with you. New to blogging, I don't want to flood the sight with video clips. Here, I'll learn to upload some of those photos from Jefferson City MO.

Chicago, Chicago

Chicago's energy can't be effectively described. Suffice it to say that I could live in a 'high rise' home overlooking the city and the lake. However, we did not come to live but to ask the proverbial question, 'Where can I find God here?' Chicago did not disappoint.

We left Missouri on Sunday afternoon after a hair raising sermon from a pastor who spoke about what the true love of Jesus would look like. That man loves his congregation - the people given to his care. His words spoke to my soul and through them God let me know He does have a remnant of people who do care and will sit at the table with me and not speak in platitudes and christianese cliches. I hope, genuinely so, that we meet again. That was St Louis.

We traveled to Missouri for me to see the home where I lived the longest as a child during my father's many US Army postings - 1104 E Dunklin St, Jefferson City MO. Memories came to me as I exited the freeway and looked left - seeing the church I attended as a child. I immediately knew to look right to find my street. But that's another story - on my blog space.
