I post all of my sermons here on FR (the keyword "sermon" will turn up the results), as well as on our church's website: stmatthewbt.org

Tomorrow I fly up to Chicago to meet a group of 40 confessional Lutheran pastors from Sweden (a few are from Norway, Denmark, or Finland), to escort them on a week-long tour of Swedish and/or Lutheran sites in Chicago, Rock Island, and St. Louis.

So I'll probably not have much time for DUFUing this week.

Well, enjoy your tour. If you’re going from Chicago to Rock Island, it’s likely as not you’ll be coming directly past Rochelle (unless you’ll be coming from the far south side). We’re at the intersection of interstates 88 and 39. I-88 is the Eisenhower xway coming out of Chicago past Oak Park, etc. It runs past Aurora, DeKalb, Rochelle on to the Quad Cities (Rock Island). I-39 runs North/South from Bloomington, and past Rochelle to Rockford, where it joins with I-90/94 and up on into Wisconsin.

If you leave from the far south side of Chicago, then I-80 is the better bet. It heads west past LaSalle/Peru then later heads north and passes I-88 just east of the Quad Cities.

Honk as you go by...

Ask them if they are familiar with margaritas.

You should really try to take them to New Glarus, WI.
