Beautiful Day in Colquitt

These November days are gorgeous. Even though we need rain so badly we can still glory in these crisp bright clear days. We went to LaGrange, GA. yesterday to see the Exploration in Antiquities Center. What a wonderful experience it was. A site in an industrial park has been converted into a center of Biblical history in the time of Christ. A guide named Max dressed as a Shepherd was our tour guide. We saw a cave like the one where Jesus was born and the manger were the animals ate, which was Jesus first bed. I have been to Sunday School and Church all my life and I learned so much yesterday about the Bible stories that made it all become very real. The olive tree never dies, but will come back from its roots and live hundreds of years. The altar where asimals were sacrificed, the threshing floor, the well, the tomb and many more thngs brought the stories of the Bible home to us. We had a meal, modeled on the Last Supper with explanations of the symbolism of the food and seating arrangements. It was a wonderful day and I highly recommend it.
