We made it to Nebraska at last! Three weeks after arriving in Virginia to begin the out-processing from the Navy, we drove north this afternoon from Kansas, arriving in Lincoln in the late afternoon.
After the long drive yesterday, we decided that a good sleep was in order, so when we stirred at last it was time to pack the car and get back on the road. But first, we wanted to see more of The Church of the Resurrection (www.cor.org). We enjoyed coffee and hot cocoa in the church's The Spring Cafe', did some shopping in their bookstore, and took a number of pictures to use in future church discussions. It was fascinating to see and learn more about what is happening at this dynamic community of faith.
At last we had to leave and so it was back onto the interstate and the short drive north. First was a quick cross-over back into Missouri and lunch at a Cracker Barrel and then an ever-s0-brief pass-thorugh a slice of Iowa brought us at long-last back to Nebraska! We crossed the Missouri River at Nebraska City and were surprised to see a new museum (new to us that is, we've been gone for awhile!). The museum honors the work of Lewis & Clark and is a very well executed design and is certainly a place we will visit again.
A short drive later and we were in Lincoln, capital of Nebraska. We found a hotel (next door to a Cracker Barrel, of course!) and settled down with the paper to catch up with the news of the Cornhusker state. Tomorrow we meet with Charles' district superintendant; it is the next step in the process of returning to the parish.
