Searching for KFC...

Today was a good day. Yesterday we got a tour of Melissa's new school and she has a HUGE new classroom. We found sustenance at Dairy Queen and then wandered down to Newport. We walked across a bridge called The Purple People Bridge. Then we spent some quality time in one of the largest Barnes and Noble I've ever been in. I got stuck looking at travel books for Australia. We compared what we've read in the kids section and made recommendation to each other based on our kids literature experiences. After dinner, we watched John Tucker Must Die - which I highly recommend to anyone who like Mean Girls, Ten Things I Hate About You or She's All That. It's a funny movie with a good volleyball scene that makes me crack up.

Today we visited the new Creation Museum here in Kentucky. It takes you on a "walk" through Creation and has lots of good Jesus themes throughout. I learned some things and was affirmed in my beliefs as well. At one point this morning though I was afraid we were all going to die in the Flood with Noah. It was a great little movie with some good special effects. There is a very clear presentation of the Gospel at the end of the museum as well. They had some cool animatronics throughout the museum. There was a nature area outside to walk around too. They had this really cool swinging bridge. It's amazing how quickly you can start acting like a twelve year old when something fun comes up. I think my favorite part would have to be the Planetarium. It was a twenty minute presentation about the Cosmos and how really insignificant we are when we look at the big scheme. At one point they were talking about a star that is a million billion (that's a one with twenty-one zeros after it) miles from the Earth. It was really cool! I am amazed by the beauty in God's creation, especially in the distant reaches of space.

God is starting to put a dream in my heart and I've had the chance to verbalize it some yesterday. It's in the "baby" phases of just trying to grow a little before I try to crawl, walk, run (as Jason would say). Pray for me as I start to pursue God and possibly a ministry opportunity in a BIG way. Sorry HT - no KFC as of yet, but maybe lunch tomorrow we can find the answer to your question! As always, feel free to comment. Tomorrow I should be back in Hickory so catch me if you can...
