Grandsons & Taylor 50th Reunion

In OH we were glad to have a short visit with 2 grandsons, 6 & 8. They were glad to see us, too! We did their homework with them, and played together. Sadly they are not in church much.


From there we headed to IN. One purpose of our trip was Heather's 50th reunion at Taylor University.

We arrived Thursday afternoon and "plugged in". The program was well planned and stuffed full. We were not able to do everything we would have liked to. It was a blessing to find many classmates that had served overseas in mission work - either part time or career. Many others were in Christian work (or had been! - we're mostly retired now!!). Taylor's campus has expanded dramatically - walking from one building to another was an exercise!! However, they provided golf cart service, if you could catch one available. The weather was superb (last year they said it was in the 30s!); the food excellent; the fellowship refreshing; but, Taylor lost the football game!! (14-13)



Sunday morning in chapel we heard Dr. Richard Allen Farmer speak on Acts 12 - Herod's anger and arrogance. He accepted the worship of the people. Dr. Farmer encouraged us to watch for those 2 "bad a" words in our lives. God is a jealous God and He only is awesome and to be adored.

Now we are in IL where we just spent a couple hours with a former neighbor and caught up on the rest of the former Wheaton neighborhood. We are headed to Carol Stream (Chicago area) to Roger's cousin to catch up a little.
