See The City From Above At The Sears Tower Skydeck
July 3rd, 2009
I’d be shivering in my boots if I was within fifty yards of this:
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 3, 2009 — The heart pounding excitement of a fast elevator ride and 103rd floor views from the Sears Tower Skydeck are no secret. The story has, however, just gotten more thrilling. Now visitors can test their curiosity and courage from a new angle: step into one of four glass enclosures for the gasp-inducing, straight-to-the-sidewalk view between their shoes.
The show stopper of the Skydeck’s multi-million dollar renovation is the addition of four glass enclosures that project 4.3 feet into space. At 103 floors above street level. Three layers of half-inch glass are fused, designed to hold five tons, are described as “glass ledges.” That should be no problem since four or five persons will venture into one of the transparent booths at any given time. There’ll be as much looking down as gazing out on the four-state vista.
A slideshow of those far braver than I am is available here. Check it out as it offers spectacular pictures!

Turning My Eyes Upon Jesus
July 3rd, 2009
With all the turmoil in the world today and the state of our country, I have found myself asking Jesus to cleanse my heart and soul of all unrighteousness and to let me focus on Him instead of the material things of the world.
I don’t know what the future holds for this country or for my husband and me. We don’t know if we will be wiped out financially or be able to survive until the Lord calls us Home, but we don’t worry about tomorrow because we know Who holds tomorrow and we know He hold our hands.
Michael W. Smith has one of the most beautiful renditions of the hymn “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” I have ever heard and I want to share it with you.
