Day 14

The second week of my Sabbatical has flown by. I have enjoyed my routine of working out, journaling, and doing my book study-devotional. I am reading a book by Louie Giglio, called, Goliath Must Fall.  It’s about winning the battle against your giants. Louis is a great communicator, and has helped remind me to…fix my eyes on the size of my God, not the size of my giants.

I had the opportunity to spend this past weekend with friends in Chicago. While there, I got to attend a Cubs vs. Rockies baseball game, and catch up on all the new Wrigleyville improvements. I am amazed at the transformation. So much has changed since I visited last fall. One of the new developments is the open-air plaza, dubbed The Park at Wrigley. It’s kind of like a “town square” outside of the ballpark. Future tenants (restaurants and stores) will open throughout the year. However, the Trophy Room is open.

The past few days, I’ve had an incredible time hanging out with family. The weather has been hot, and perfect for boating. This little one enjoyed taking over the wheel!

 

We visited LOST CANYON and enjoyed a quaint horse-drawn carriage tour through a magnificent mile of cliff-walled gorges. This place is right down the street from where I live, and it is the first time I have visited.  What a gem! The trip takes a half hour, and offers unbelievable views of the Wisconsin Dells.
