Chicago

What a long day it has been. It started out at 4am central time to make my flight in Atlanta. I went a little early because I love to sit in the concourse and watch people. So many people going so many different places and doing so many different things.

I made it to Chicago around 10:30am or so. I got to meet up with several of the people I work with on a daily basis. We don’t see each other very often. What a great bunch of people. I have been truly blessed to be able to work for and with them.

After a half day at the office it was time to take off and eat something. A few of us went out and grabbed a bite to eat. We went and had some deep dish Chicago pizza at Lou Malnati’s. Very good!

To end the day up and what has ended up being the highlight for the day. I went out for a walk to check out all of the these really tall buildings. I meet a guy named Anthony. We had a 30 minute conversation about the book of Romans. He didn’t know who the author was but he had a tract that had 5 or 6 versus from the book of Romans. We had a great conversation about God, Jesus, and Paul. He started out trying to tell me a story to get some money but it ended up being a wonderful conversation and then I gave him some money. I’m a sucker! He even ended up walking me up Whaker street for about 4 blocks or so showing me where he currently sleeps at night and where he had his bike locked up. He also had some great stories about the filming of Batman on lower Whaker.

Can you wrap up a day any better than that?
