The Power of Place

Ann is off at Garrett seminary for a preaching seminar. If I had seven days in Prague, it's only fair she gets a few days to feed her soul in Evanston. Not only is it the place where we met (and later married), but it's where her father once lived and schooled, where her grandfather once taught journalism, and where my parents married. So it's a place powerful with connection, history and memory. Thank God there are such places, where meaning transcends the structure of bricks and mortar and roots us in sacred ground.
