If all goes according to plan we'll be visiting relatives in Kentucky this time tomorrow. It's been a hectic several weeks leading up to today, Christmas, but socializing and exchanging gifts and cards with friends and family make it worthwhile.
Had the pleasure of visiting Wisconsin's newest basilica for Sunday Mass yesterday. Holy Hill looked translucent through the frosty haze of the early morning as we approached for the 8:00 a.m. mass. The countryside from the walkway outside the main church appeared surreal. Everything not moving was covered in a thick, white frost thanks to the moisture still in the air from Friday's rain. Even the horizon seemed like it was waiting for the sun to warm and melt it.
Inside the cavernous church we found the usual Chrismas decorations among some really beautiful stained glass windows, paintings, marble floors and walls, sculpture and statues. Someday I'll spend more time there, maybe climb the tower or take a tour of the grounds.
To all my friends and readers; Wishing you a warm and peaceful Christmas season. Will see you in a few days.
