The dock at the Lake

Fact:  there is only one natural lake in Texas.

All the rest are man-made.

For someone who comes from a place where there are lakes around every bend in the road, that's a difficult fact to wrap your brain around.

I went to the lake near my home today hoping beyond hope there would be a photo op.  There wasn't. This dock adjacent to a boat launch was the best I could do.  

My heart is grateful that:

the sun was shining today and I was fairly busy

The Ark Encounter

A full-scale replica of Noah's Ark is located in Williamsburg, KY.  I've read about it but never thought I'd be able to visit in person.

I got there today.

It's truly amazing.  It took Noah 10 years to build the ark.  Only 8 people survived the flood, along with 7 of every clean animal and 2 of every unclean animal. (there are differing opinions about exactly how many animals were on the ark but the animals were smaller in those days, and it was a "kind" of each species, so not as many animals as we think there might have been) It's 2 football fields long.

There was one door on the ark and God closed the door from the outside.  

The structure was an engineering marvel.

I'm grateful that;

Some of God's people have been so obedient
