I don't usually give travelling tips on this blog, but for those who are passing through Naperville, Illinois, I felt a heads up on the Clinkert's Lodge was a worth while entry.
For the past couple years we had heard of this amazing, almost miraculous bed that was so comfortable it would make you sleep as soon as you layed down on it. Not only that, it would hardly allow you to wake up! Our good friend Jeff Rice was the first to testify of it's powers. But then several months later, our daughter Rhoda came away with the same mystical experience, saying, "It's the most amazing bed on the planet."
Well, recently my wife and I got the chance to sink into it's soothing sleeping powers, and I must admit, we did not wake up until we wanted to. However, I would stop short of some who believe it's not from this world... (though I was a little freaked at the way the Sponge Bob pillow seemed to look at me no matter where I was in the room. Hmmm)
Unfortunately I am not at liberty to tell you where this lodge is, or to show a picture of the place. It's a special lodge available only to Clinkert family special guests.
And... by the way... Bob and Vicky are great hosts! :) While there we had a couple enjoyable evenings and mornings with these good folks, and was able to share some of our wild missionary monkey stories. (Maybe I will post those some time).
Clinkert hosting is unparralled, for sure. I don't know how you can hang out with them and not be infected by their joy in all things Christ, community and Filippino!
