Fond Memories of Times Past

I took these pictures this past November as my family and I were about to touch down for the first time in one and a half years on our country's soil. It was a joyous occasion to fly over a city that we once lived in [around!] and loved . . Chicago. Christy and I have such wonderful memories of our time in Chicago-land. Most of those warm, fuzzy feelings emanate from the relationships we shared with so many exceptional people. Our hearts still ache at times for the commitment to and integrity of relationships we shared with friends at Willow Creek Community Church. Thankfully, through devices such as this blog [and theirs] we're still able to keep in touch over the many, many miles that separate. With fond memories of each one of you . . we love you guys!
