Dayton & Anna visit JBU before Thanksgiving in Nov.

Earlier this year Dayton was asked to be a speaker for the JBU chapel series this semester on faith and the arts. He addressed the idea of theology and art and was very well recieved by students and faculty. He spoke in the honors center and taught a couple of classes, too.

Karen wasn't able to come due to her rehearsal schedule with Hubbard Street Dance Company (she was activated in early November!), but Anna got to come and we had a blast. Anna was such a delight. We went to the safari and took too little guys from church for Anna to have some friends while she was here and we went to the JBU basketball game (three years ago, Anna first ate popcorn at a JBU game). Here she is with the JBU Eagle!

We had such a lovely time with Dayton and Karen. So proud of our son and the way he thinks and teaches, his character and what a fine dad and husband he is!

Robbie got real sick right before Dayton and Anna returned to Chicago, had to cancel three days of classes, but all is well now.

Lots to be thankful during this season of our lives....children walking in love, serving the Lord, loving their children...a church community that is growing in grace and in numbers....work that we love. It continues to be a joy to continue IN HIS GLAD SERVICE.
