And I ride our light rail system to work every day.

You are so right...God will provide in His own time. Amazing how His time is really the perfect time for us... Hang in there! We WILL get through these trials.

What a wonderful experience seeing life through the eyes of these teens! We spent 5 days exploring the Chicago area...the museums, the Billy Graham center, Moody College, Miracle Mile, Wrigley Field, and so much more. For many of them, it was their first experience seeing snow (little leftover drifts...slushy mess, but oh so much fun for them!). I have been to Chicago a few times since, and I really love that city (but cannot imagine living there in the winter!).Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217873835177215930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-24280840684403297542012-02-04T07:23:06.395-06:002012-02-04T07:23:06.395-06:00I'm surprised how many people try to scam the ...I'm surprised how many people try to scam the conductors by putting up expired tickets or pretending they didn't know the ticket they bought wasn't a round trip. The conductors don't take any crap from anyone. My parents have lived within 4 blocks of train tracks their entire lives and my husband grew up in Chicago in a building right next to the tracks like that.Kim@Snug Harborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066749954523201722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-17135198345060048532012-02-04T07:20:43.379-06:002012-02-04T07:20:43.379-06:00Yeah, I kept thinking "2 days into the challe...Yeah, I kept thinking "2 days into the challenge and I have to give up Garretts!"

I'd know who has paid and who hadn't, and would have too much fun calling them out. (Sad, huh?). An apartment by the tracks...ummm, not my first choice. Still crazy to me that people live like that day in and day out. I would be wide-eyed in awe for a visit, but couldn't stay. Too many people!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121205250839003802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-48352088181477395272012-02-04T03:11:35.600-06:002012-02-04T03:11:35.600-06:00I don't know how you walked away from the popc...I don't know how you walked away from the popcorn. I am a huge popcorn fan myself (I've been eating Smart Pop)<br /><br />The pics from inside the train are cool. They have an old timey appearance. As far as living close to tracks, I wouldn't want to live any closer than I already do. I live 1+ miles from tracks and I can very clearly hear them go by. I can't imagine living any closer to them.<br /><br />Thanks for taking us with you! It reminded me of taking the Metro in DC.Dellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826435478377353342noreply@blogger.com
