Baha’i Temple!!

Today we had to drive downtown to drop off our final mortgage papers. When we were finished I was a bit curious about how close to Lake Michigan our bank was. So I headed east a bit, and there was a sign for the “Temple”. I knew I was on Sheridan, and I didn’t think it could possibly be the Baha’i Temple–I had discovered this beautiful building right after we moved to Chicago during one of our little outings to get to know our area. So I turned right to check it out, and sure enough it was. I was so excited to see it, that I had to pull over and take a picture. Blakelynn thinks it looks like a big wedding cake, I just think it’s breath taking. The sign says, Baha’i House of Worship, All Are Welcome. But not knowing anything about the faith, and not wanting to be disrespectful in any way–a photo op is all I dared do. Maybe someday I’ll work up enough guts to go see what this beautiful building looks like from the inside. I found a photo of it online from an aerial view–I did not take the next picture–but it is so cool! That is Lake Michigan in the top left corner–very close to this amazing building.
