the windy city
i was born near Chicago
in Elgin
my father was working there
i do not remember Illinois from my childhood,
or at least very little,
we weren't there long
all of my family are Mississippi
born and raised
my dad and mom got me back to "God's Country" as fast as they could!
i am the only "yankee" born in our tribe..
i like Chicago
the wind off Lake Michigan
the midwestern sense of humor
blue collar
kind of like the blue collar folks from home
good people working hard
isn't it amazing to think about the truth..
the truth that we are all loved with abandon,
no matter the size, age, race, gender, rich, poor,
educated, uneducated, yankee, rebel, etc..
we are all pursued by the Hound of Heaven..
hallelujah!
