St. Charles, MO

Tonight we were in St. Charles, MO. just outside of St. Louis. This afternoon a took a walk along the historic main street of the town. The Louis and Clark expedition began here. This was also once the capitol of Missouri. It was a very pleasant afternoon.

This evening we performed at the university here in St. Charles. It is a beautiful new facility and was fun to perform in though the attendance was very disappointing. Our new "Kate" went on tonight and seemed to have a good time and did a great job.

After the show I went out to eat with two very dear friends. We spent an hour discussing religion and religious beliefs. It was one of the best hours of tour thus far. It was so refreshing to have a religious discussion with like minded people while on the road. Sometimes touring can seem like a pretty Godless place as I find myself hesitant to share religious beliefs because of the great diversity of beliefs. Jeff and Analisa and I just shared our thoughts and understandings of God, churches, and faith communities. This is what I imagine Jesus would have discussed over dinner with those he traveled with. It was a blessing. Thank you Jeff and Analisa.

And may God bless all who read this, regardless of your religious beliefs and affiliations.

My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends affected by the storms in Oklahoma and Texas. I hope all are safe and that no severe damage was done to your homes. Let me know how you are.
