Creation Declares

Well, we're back from vacation (hah, didn't even tell you we were taking off!). We had a great time with the kids...just being able to relax, not answer cell phones, focus on our family the whole week. But we've also learned that you don't really get away unless you literally get away. So we packed up the car and headed to....Cincinnatti.

Ok, so that's not America's number one destination. It's not even Ohio's. But when you've got two little kids, where do you really go?

Our week ended up being an exploration in creation. We spent tons of time playing outside, walking in parks, and checking out the zoo and the aquarium. We were totally entertained by the things God has made (some exotic that we'd never see, some around here that we never take time to notice).

My friend, Brian, was also at the zoo and shared some very similar observations.

Giraffes. Elephants. Sharks. Penguins. God's creativity was all around us during the week. Yet God's glory was most visible in my children's eyes. Watching their eyes spark with wonder during the first time they saw a unique animal, touched a turtle, or saw the swimming pool at our hotel.

Sure, the zoo should be full of enough creatures to declare God's glory. But if that doesn't work, I highly recommend going there with a child. If you can ignore their excitement, I don't know what will sway you from evolution.
