Jan and I enjoyed the first day of our sabbatical by driving to Chicago. Less than four hours into the trip, Jan had already made her first purchase. She bought a Mexican blanket that was actually made in Mexico, but was purchased at a Travel Center in southern Illinois. This truly is a great nation.
After checking into our hotel, we had dinner at Dick's Restaurant (recommended by Jerry and Armentia) then went downtown. We discovered that "A Taste of Chicago" was going on, so we joined the fun after a stroll along the lake.
Tomorrow morning we will be meeting with the senior pastor of Faith Church in Dyer, Indiana. God has blessed that church with exciting growth during the past few years, and I am looking forward to hearing their story. Nancy Scarbrough's dad is the Executive Administrator on their staff.
Thanks again to the Highland Drive family for allowing us this precious time off.
Blessings,
Johnny
