Our Trip to Wilmore

This past weekend Becky and I made our first trip to Wilmore, Kentucky to visit our son and daughter-in-law.  Tyler is a first year student at Asbury Theological Seminary.  Jessica has a wonderful job with the University of Kentucky.  They are loving being in Wilmore and experiencing life as a newly married couple.  We had a wonderful visit.  The greatest thing was seeing the two of them so happy!

This was my first visit to the Asbury Campus.  I have admired the school for many years and it was great to walk the grounds of a place that has prepared so many for Christian ministry through the years.  Along the way, we came across this statue of a famous Christian leader.  You probably know who he is, but I thought I would have some fun with this photo.  Take my survey to the right of this article and see if you can name the person featured between my son and I!

Kentucky is beautiful this time of year.  In addition to beautiful mountains casting their colors of red, yellow and orange leaves, we saw mile after mile of horse farms and stables.  We even made our first trip to the race track!  We were only a few feet away as the horses broke from the starting gate and made their way around the track.  What an experience!

A highlight for me was having the chance to worship with Tyler and Jessica.  They currently attend Southland Church there in Lexington.  It was a amazing place with over 5000 people in attendance during the morning services.  I don't have many opportunities to simply be a worshiper at a service.  I have already heard wonderful things about the services we had here at Sugarloaf.  We missed being with each of you!

Till next time...
