Sunday in Wheaton

We started the day at Uncle Wilbur's Church - Holy Transfiguration Antiochian Orthodox Church. Needless to say it was a church experience unlike any other we've had before. A lot of interesting and thought-provoking things. We really enjoyed being there and appreciated the fellowship we shared with this unique congregation.

Then, after a little nap at the house, we went out to Cantigny Park to hear the Air Force Band which turned out to be a jazz version of the band. We walked around the gardens, and looked at a bunch of old tanks then went into the museum where they had some really great displays of real war scenes (see lower set of pictures). We then came home and walked my Aunt and Uncle's new dog, Cody, a Sheltie. We don't have any pictures yet of Aunt Jean or Cody but we'll get them before we leave town.

Tomorrow we connect with two cousins and their husbands. We'll share pictures of that with you tomorrow.

My Uncle's homily from the Gospels (Mt. 14; Mk. 6; Lk. 9; Jn. 6) today was from Jesus' feeding of the five thousand. The disciples plea to "send them away so they can take care of themselves" was met by Jesus in essence saying, "No, you bring them to me and let me take care of them." A great lesson in loving people, no matter how inconvenient.

Onward in love.
