I spent a long time creating a beautiful travel log here last night, and then..... I lost my connection!  And there went my entry.  Serves me right -- I really needed to go to bed, and I got the message. Sigh. So... I will try again. Stay tuned.

I also wanted to comment on something that happened while we were traveling, something that is a sad sign of the state of the country.  We were laid-over at Chicago Midway and had stopped in the food court for a pizza. We always thank the Lord together for our meals, at home or away, but honestly we do not sound a gong or stand on our seats to attract attention.  It's just right to do, right? Well as we were cleaning up a man approached my husband and told him what a beautiful sight it was to see a family pray together in public. I was struck by this. If there are as many Christians in this country as people claim to be, public prayer should  be a very common sight. It made me cry. Our nation has forgotten God. I don't say this out of a self-righteous heart; it just makes me so sad that God's people can't be identified.

...For whatever that's worth.
