<\/a>But now it\u2019s back to work\u2026and writing. I want to share something I did while I was away. I took my parents, along with my sister and her mother-in-law to the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. It just recently opened and I was excited to be there to experience their \u201c40 days and nights\u201d theme.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Ark Encounter is awesome and I don\u2019t know that I will be able to share enough about it to do it justice. I\u2019ll try.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Of course, like Noah, many have scoffed at this endeavor, but whether it is approved of or not, both were built. Both followed God\u2019s instructions. Both drew attention to God. Unfortunately for Noah\u2019s peers, all perished except for Noah and his family. We can only pray that in our society today, some will come to know the Lord because of this structure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our trip to see the ark was just one day of my adventures over the past six weeks. I can\u2019t wait to share more. But until then, have a blessed day and don\u2019t miss out on being with the Lord today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Donna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has been a while, friends.

The ark that sits in Kentucky is 510 feet long, 85 feet wide and 51 feet high. It is massive! And the closer we got to it, the greater understanding we had of just how great an undertaking this was for Noah. In our modern world, this structure is a marvel. I can only imagine what Noah\u2019s peers thought of his ark.<\/p>\n<\/a>Interestingly, come to find out a company in Lafayette, Colorado provided all the wood for the modern-day ark. I read an article in a local paper about it and it educated me about the wood itself. You can check out their thoughts on the ark by clicking here<\/a>.\u00a0There are awesome pictures there too.<\/p>\n
