Dripping Sponge

Yesterday, we left home in the dark and returned home in the dark. BUT, witnessing a day break is such a breath taking experience. As the darkness gives way to the light ever so slowly....one can feel anticipation swell up within the soul. What expectations a child of God can have for a new day!
As the song expreses it, "Morning by morning new mercies I see.....all I have needed thy hand hath provided.......great is they faithfulness!" These words taken from Lamentations 3:23. The sun broke out of the east just as we pulled into a Mc Donalds in Lafayette. It was thrilling to me. Something that happens every day of the year and yet it still speaks of God's constant care and brilliant design. Awesome!

The Creation Museum over met our expectations. It was wonderful. When we got in the car to leave, I told both of the men in my life that I felt like a sponge that was over saturated. I felt like if I were to be picked up I'd drip my knowledge all over the place. It was very entertaining but, oh, so educational. We were blessed to hear Dr. Ken Ham, who is the foremost spokesperson for creation science. I had heard him one other time in life and that was when I took our two youngest girls whom I was homeschooling to some special ocassion. It was much better this time for me. He is so filled with knowledge and apologetics. I confessed to God this morning that I always poo pooed apologetics thinking who are we to defend God. But after listening to him, I realize we wouldn't be defending God for God's sake but for the sake of our fellow men who don't believe that God's word is infallible. I was also shocked to realize that I had allowed some of man's ideas to creep into my understanding of Genesis 1 to 11. Remember when I said that maybe my faith would be bolstered by attending. Wow...I had no idea how much I would be convinced. I now believe more than ever before God's word and history from cover to cover. Go God.



I'm not sure how young children are affected but it was perfect for Isaiah. I could hear him affirming things audibly when we sat in lectures. He raised his hand often when his experience applied to what ever the question was. I KNOW he was affected.....deeply. I praise God.

On our way home we were early enough to stop at our son and daughter in law and granddaughter in Noblesville. Josh whipped up a nice dinner for us with only an hour's notice. We had a nice visit with them and were happy for the opportunity.
