We headed south today, leaving Minneapolis headed for Iowa. Friends live in Dubuque, next to the Mississippi River and they took us out to Eagle Point Park for a great view of the river with its lock and dam.

The dam is necessary to raise the water level so that boats can navigate the river. The lock is necessary so that boats can get through the dam.

I’d go a long ways out of the way to spend time with my friend Steve, and over the years our kids have gotten to know each other. Steve is professor of Old Testament at Emmaus Bible College, where they have Bible courses online for free.
