What a great trip - spending time with my great kids (sorry Sarah, I mean "Children") and great wife. God provided for us throughout the trip - safety, provisions and fellowship (AKA family fun).
The tail end of the trip was most memorable. As we were approaching Chicago from the East on the 90 tollway, there were three highway patrol cars escorting a wide load ahead, blocking all lanes as we travelled at 25MPH. We followed for at least a half-hour until we were losing our patience. I suggested that we pass the squads on the right shoulder. An officer would then chase us, opening a hole for those thousands of cars behind us to flow past the other two officers. I figured we would be a "sacrifice" so that others could be free. It was easy for me to suggest since Janet was driving at the time, but Alas, she did not obey and we just plodded along. We finally found a road that headed south (we were headed north) and took it, hoping to find a bathroom. We stopped at a gas station - no bathroom! Then we stopped at a White Castle - no bathroom, etc., etc. Finally, after getting back on the highway, we found another exit, and everyone was happy! or at least happier...
We can't wait to get back to see you all. We appreciate pastor's preaching (!) and miss you guys more than ever.
There were no bathrooms because it was gary, indiana and that place is ridiculous!!!!
