Lodi, CA

On Christmas Eve we drove from Anaheim to Lodi, CA, some 380 miles.  We arrived in time to relax a little before getting ready for mass at St. Anne's Catholic Church, 15 minutes away.

It was a huge church with a very long center aisle, and not surprisingly, the church was full to capacity.

The Pastor's sermon was a good one, how the distractions of life get in the way of hearing God's message.  He delivered the message with an audience partition game.  Interesting approach, but effective!

This Christmas mass, even though we were on the road, far from home, made us feel like we didn't miss Christmas after all.
