Our final day of travel.
We are heading home......but the question is....
how long will it take us to get home?
We left Sioux Falls and set our direction southward.
Our first stop was Vermillion, South Dakota....
...home of University of South Dakota.....
...the Man Child's birthplace.....
...Concordia Lutheran Church and Student Center.
A congregation from my past.
It is so nice to go "home" sometimes.
So nice to see friends.....
to worship together.....
to sing together again.....
to break bread together.....
to share the Cup of Blessings.
After a lengthy South Dakota goodbye.....
we started south once again.
We were on our final mission....
...to find Jesus.
Jesus is located in Trinity Heights,
a Catholic retirement community in Sioux City, Iowa.
I am very glad we had GPS to find our way there...although, I even got turned around with the GPS system. We had construction, closed roads and the dreaded new roads because the GPS wasn't updated so we were driving through fields on the GPS screen listening to "recalculating, recalculating, recalculating...."
This site was well worth the trouble of finding.......
The word is AMAZING....
There was also a wood carving.
A life size (well, very close to it) wood carving of
The Last Supper
This is not a relief...this is fully three dimensional!

And on the other side of the "park" was a statue Mary.
Facts we learned:
Mary is 30 feet tall.
 |
| We added Stella for reference. Jesus is tall! |
Jesus is 33 feet tall.
The conclusion is.....
Jesus was taller than his mother.
......and on a footnote......
