It's Borderline Botanical Baby!

Marci and I are really enjoying our Sundays, being that most other days are filled with studying and other seminary related events. All of these things have been really fantastic, but it is nice to take a step back and enjoy time together with just the two of us. This past Sunday we went to the Japanese festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden, which is an astounding place.

Here is a family that we don't know enjoying the very botanical garden that I am discussing. Looks like they're having fun, right?

We relaxed in this peaceful Japanese garden, and tip-toed across this wonderful wooden bridge, which teaches us that the best path is not always a straight line. In one of the climate houses, we were shown rare herbs and plants that are mentioned in the Bible. Under each plaque for the plant was a verse that corresponds, and I am continually amazed at how Scripture makes its way into our lives and our horticulture.

We have also visited the FREE St. Louis Zoo (twice.) It is one of the best zoos I have ever seen, and the best feature is their hippo exhibit. (see above). I have enjoyed greatly learning about the Bible, meeting new friends, and seeing exotic animals. We can say confidently that this is where we are supposed to be. We will blog more frequently now that our Internet is up and running. God bless you!
