A Special Dedication

by Ken Ham on July 9, 2010

Recently, a wonderful saint of the Lord passed into eternity. Sheila just loved doing what she could to spread the gospel, and she was an ardent garden lover. She would come to the Creation Museum, get on her hands and knees (at over 70 years old), and work as hard as anyone else.

Sheila provided the support necessary to build the koi pond and gardens—now an outstanding feature in the Creation Museum gardens.

Recently, Sheila’s family visited the Creation Museum so we could have a special service to dedicate what is now called “Sheila’s Garden.”

So in memory of a dear friend and a dedicated servant of the Lord, I included these photographs of the dedication ceremony:

Tim (AiG’s head landscaper) and me sharing remarks during the ceremony

Family around the sign: Donna (Sheila’s daughter) and Jeff Cave with son (Jared) and daughter (Hannah), Kelly (Sheila’s daughter) and Tom Rood, Eileen and Fred Roedel, and Kim Ibarra (Sheila’s daughter)

It’s New at the Petting Zoo

The Creation Museum was thrilled to be able to open a special new section of the Petting Zoo—an special pen to offer camel rides! Children and adults love this new addition. AiG’s talented staff built the special enclosure, and our camel, Gomer, was sent away for a few weeks of special training. Here are some photographs of some of the first rides as this feature opened to the public:

Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ—AiG Speaking at Two Conferences This Weekend

The second year…let the children of Israel also keep

(Numbers 9:1-2) And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

The Lord Jesus Christ reminds us to not say, “been there, done that” for our past obedience and then let neglect cause us to wander from Him.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Ken
