This is Pooklet wearing his first snowflake in Wheeling, IL, as we're leaving a friend's house. Our friend teaches at Moody Bible Institute and, along with his wife, gave us some beloved pre-marital counseling before we headed off to California. They continue to give us their beloved friendship. Our counselor is on his way to a doctorate with his recently completed thesis on Song of Solomon. Speaking of Song of Solomon, has anyone heard Tommy Nelson's series on it? Search for him on iTunes. Well worth your time.
Here's a grandpook with the pooklet.
We got to see Moody Church's new Christian Life Center for the first time, and man, is it nice. It has really great details, too, which is refreshing to see in a church. Modern, timeless, subtle. Here's one of the gathering spots...
The main purpose of our trip was to see two friends marry, two who contributed music to our own wedding. I went nuts with Moody's giant sanctuary and my new camera, and had a lot of fun with the elegance and scale of it all.
This young man at the organ is a true virtuoso. I'd forgotten how I used to admire his piano talent, coupled with an intensity and a reverence I perceived in him. He's a really good-natured guy with a sense of humor, which a shot this imposing belies.
We sat with friends during the reception, and the Pooklet met his match. They had a Cute-Off.
More to come as soon as I sort out the rest of the photos.
