The Triumph of Waiting It Out

When Colin was very young, he received Curious George for a present. This particular toy laughs when you press certain parts, and has a bigger belly laugh that you can find randomly.


Colin did not want to touch him. He cried when we made him hold him.


Colin had a fear of him. George did not make him nervous. It was not that Colin did not prefer him. Colin feared him.


Note: Colin has genetically and spiritually inherited his mother's fear of everything.


Heights. Spiders. Rubber baby doll heads. Bland Food. Snakes. Strangers. The Unknown. Bad Breath. Plush Monkeys.


You name it and we've feared it.


Anyway, George went into hibernation for about three or fours years. He went in faith knowing one day someone would love him and his belly laugh.


That day came. George had his exaltation through...Victoria! She happened upon him, took him up, called him her "baby", and lovingly cradled him. He has been her "baby" ever since.
She loves him with the same vehemence with which Colin feared him.

Every baby wears diapers, right? So must George.




She buried him alive in diapers (all clean).

If you know this bug, put his name in the comments section. A story will follow at a later date.

Vacation, Part the Second and Three-Quarters

The Noah's Ark section was wonderful! It really gives perspective to Noah's faith and the opportunities to be a witness.

God was very specific about His instructions!
Below, the people are getting as high as they can before the waters consumed them. Very sobering display. It reminds me of the song that says, "They cried from the rocks and the mountains. They prayed, but their prayer was too late."










From the museum, we drove on to Tennessee. Pictures will follow!

Vacation, Part the Second and a Half

The sacrifices necessary after the fall of man.

This was very convicting. Innocent animals shed their blood for the transgressions of humans. This is a picture of when the future Lamb of God would come for the final sacrifice. I am thankful He came, died and rose again, but it makes me sad that it was my sin He suffered for.

Victoria is taking it all in.

The Great Tempter. The Great Liar. The Great Deceiver. There is a bottomless pit waiting with his name written all over it!

Victoria is not too sure about dinosaurs.

Okay, it's settled. The dinosaur was a little too "up close and personal", as they say.

" That's better. I can handle anything when I'm in my stroller!"

Dinosaurs are everywhere! They're in my house and in my hair!
I'm sorry about the little poetry explosion. I would quote Byron instead, but I don't think he has any dinosaur poems.

Vacation, Part the Second

We really enjoyed visiting the Creation Museum in Kentucky. It was a quick 4.5 hour drive, and we stayed in a nice hotel for a great deal!


It was encouraging to see a group of people (whomever built and funded this museum) willing to stand for the Creator in an age where evolution (though unproved) continues to be the catch-all belief for a godless mindset.


Isn't it nice to know you aren't a mutation? :)










I'm sure this is beautiful in the summer, but it was chilly and rainy when we went.

I'm going to ask he Lord about some of these when I get to Heaven..
