Saturday Snapshot

10/5/2013

7 Comments

 
This past weekend I had the privilege of participating in the 50th anniversary of my alma mater - Concordia University in Ann Arbor. I graduated in 2006, and it was wonderful to be "home", back on campus with the beautiful fall colors. The day was rather wet and misty, but that didn't dampen anyone's enthusiasm. The Chapel was full for the worship service. I sang with the choir, which was made up of 150-ish current students and alumni. The sound of the hymns echoing throughout the Chapel was a hint of heaven.

I didn't have a chance to take any pictures, but I was able to get ahold of some taken by one of my college friends who is an amazing photographer!

It looks like a beautiful campus! I went back to my alma mater this summer for the first time in over 20 years and really enjoyed the visit, too.

Great pictures! There is a Concordia University not far from me, but I've never been to it.

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
