Greece - Chorale
Thursday, March 20, 2008
Time: 12 p.m.
Location: Indianapolis Airport
Starbucks Frappuccinos,
digital cameras,
Subway sandwiches,
scones,
and a single Indianapolis Star newspaper.
Yes...sure signs of the Indianapolis International Airport, where the Taylor Chorale is stationed for the next hour before our first flight leaves.
Our schedule so far, you ask? Well, let me just tell you a little of how our next 19 hours are going to pan out:
Flight from Indy to Detroit
Flight from Detroit to Amsterdam
Flight from Amsterdam to Athens
"Flight 1010 to Detroit now boarding."
Here we come.
--Mark Statler
But first, an excerpt by Joe Hamgeri, Jenny Wolcott, Matthew Hurst, Mark Statler, Dan Luy, and Dr. Rediger:
Here we sit on the brink of Greece
Excited for joys that will never cease
For who knows what may wait ahead
Like dreams lived awake instead of in bed
We're gonna be on 'the road' for 22 hours
Being brought to foreign lands by our loving God's powers
We will see things few people get to see
And be in places few people get to be
Keeping the view of the Parthenon in focus
Going together in formation, with purpose, like locusts
Finally it's coming into full bloom
We're comin' for ya Greece so make some room!
Hi to my family - Wes, JoAnn, Cheryl, and James. We had snow this morning and currently have hail. Evan is feeling well and loves jelly beans.
Hope you are having fun -
