I started the morning going to Mass at Mary of the Lake. Afterwards Nicole and I went to services at her church, Uptown Baptist. I wanted to make sure I went there. That was the church Jim Larson was music minister of. Jim is a friend I worked with in the 70's two doors from Emmaus. Jim and his wife Judy are now working with girls who were sold into prostitution in Thailand. He is the one that first told me about Emmaus. So, it was good to spend time with Nicole. I also felt connected to my old friend Jim. I spent the evening with my niece and her family. It was nice, dinner, family, great conversation. I walked there. That is a walk from Uptown, to the edge of Boystown, turn on Grace and walk to North Central. It is about an hours walk. What I realized while walking is that I have seen a lot of Chicago neighborhoods in these past three weeks.
