chapter 21: we'll sing and shout the victory

It's safe to say that Oak Brook is the only law school where spontaneous hymn sings sung all from memory in four parts are a typical group activity.

Make that the only law school where any hymn sings are a typical group activity.

It is a unique law school.

Thankfully so.

By the last day of the trip, trooping back onto the bus after the lake cruise, we were in a lot of ways like Tigger: "see-sick . . . from . . . seeing too much." It was an awful lot to see in ten days.

So, with that feeling and the beauty of the Swiss highway (even the highways in Switzerland are beautiful . . .) as the backdrop, Nicole suggested a hymn sing.

It was without a doubt one of the high points of the trip to corporately sing God the glory for what we had learned and seen and for His excellent greatness.


Lewis often alludes to the glimpses we get of something "other" and the human desire to find it. I guess that's eternity in the hearts of man.

I think that's part of what makes travel to a new place a stirring (in the most literal sense of the word) experience.

I learned something about heaven in Switzlerland.

In the mountains, on the lakes, in the countryside.

And on the bus.
