Mama Came to Visit

I just returned from a pastoral staff retreat in Wisconsin (which I’ll write about in the coming days). I didn’t realize until the night before we left that we would only be about 1 1/2 hrs. from Chicago where my parents live. So, I hit them up, and lucky for me Mom was able to come up yesterday for a quick visit. It was nice introducing her to our church staff and having her join us for dinner. We had a “get-to-know-one-another” element of our retreat, so one of our pastors took advantage of Mom being with us to interview her and ask embarrassing questions about my childhood. Fantastic. lol!
