Today my family had the pleasure of going to the Henry Ford Museum with my grandparents. It was wonderful!! We had fun exploring all the different exhibits. Two days ago we all went to Greenfield Village, which was very interesting. One thing especially captivating there was at the peoples who formed glass - it was absolutely beautiful. Yesterday the six of us drove over to a college about an hour away to meet a guy there. We were actually on time (hurrah!), and after we had introduced everyone, he invited us to attend chapel with him, which was just about to start. We enjoyed the time there, and before we knew it, it was time for lunch. We had packed sandwiches and everything, but he insisted on treating us to a meal in the cafeteria. Afterwards the adults stayed there talking while us kids went to a room nearby that had a pool table, a ping-pong table, and several board games. There was a guy there with his friend playing pool, and he was very nice - he introduced himself and invited Nathan and Nicholas to join their game.
About an hour or two later, we left the college and headed for a 'Hands-on Museum'. It was AMAZING!!! We had so much fun there. There were so many exhibits - a harp with lasers for strings, a thing that tested up to what frequency you could hear, etc., etc., etc. :-) The frequency-tester-thingie said that humans could hear up to 20,000...um....Hertz? I don't remember. Dad could hear up to approximately 11,000, Mom could hear up to somewhere around 13,000, Nathan and I could both hear up to about 14,500, and Nicholas and Noah could hear up to around 17,000. Cool, huh? Not as cool as something else: it was a big room with a bunch of pretty big, red 'bricks' we could build with. They were foamlike but a bit sturdier and stronger. First we built a tower around Nathan, and then he burst out of it. Next Nathan and I started to build a tower around ourselves, but about halfway through we were trapped inside. :-) Mom and Nicholas helped us finish - when it was completely done it was about 7 or 8 feet tall!! It even had a ceiling, along with a small window on each of the four sides. Then Dad helped us make a door on one side for us to squeeze through, so we didn't have to knock down the whole thing. It was really nice, but about a half an hour later when we came back, someone had completely demolished it.
One more thing (my mom told me I need to make my blogs shorter, so I'm really trying): when we were at Greenfield Village a few days ago, we watched a potter forming clay on a wheel. Now, I don't know if any of you have ever seen this before, but it is very fascinating. You could probably look up a video of it on YouTube. Anyway, you all have probably read in the Bible the passage about God being the potter, and us being the clay. I now realize what an impact that must have had on the people listening to Jesus speaking. When I watched the potter form the clay, I watched how God wants to shape my life and me. And I think He's already got me a little loosened up.
Jeremiah 18:6 ""O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel." (If you have the time - and this isn't too long - please click on the link above. God bless.)
