Sunday Meditations

On Friday of this week, we had the opportunity to go to the Creation Museum just over the border in Kentucky (not far from Cincinnati). We really enjoyed the beautiful botanical gardens and petting zoo, both located on the grounds of the museum.




















If you have the chance to go I recommend that you do so. I would not go on a weekend if I could go during the week - because the Creation Museum can get pretty busy. I highly suggest that you see the planetarium. It is amazing - especially the Created Cosmos. It will make you realize how small we are here on earth - compared to the rest of what's out there!




















Here are a few pictures from the incredible botanical gardens. Our 6 year old LOVED the suspension bridges! (Don't worry - there's regular paths for strollers and wheelchairs!)




















Genesis 2:2-15

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
