Smokey Mountains

I am currently here at the Great Smokey Mountains. The view here is breath taking. God's creation is neat. I was talking with a guy here at the place we are staying at. He mentioned he wondered how it looked before the mountains were formed. If we look at the book of Genesis, God made the Earth in 6 days. Some scholars have determined that the Earth is only around 6,000 years old. I went to the visitors center yesterday at the Smokey Mountains and it talked about how everything formed for millions of years. That isn't correct. Have a great day.

Watermelon plants

I planted probably about 3 different patches of watermelons and only one came up probably of about 12 seeds. The weather might have something to do with it or maybe watermelons are just hard to grow. Does anyone have any insights on growing watermelons. Deana said that only half of the beans came up. On a positive note the lettuce came up well. We have 3 strawberry plants that hopefully will produce fruit next year. Any gardening tips by anyone?

Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code movie is out today. I would not watch a movie that puts down and degrades our Saviour Jesus Christ.
The argument is out there that the Da Vinci Code is a fictional book. I don't know Dan Brown's intentions with the book. I just hope he doesn't believe what he wrote.
Any one have thoughts on this book or movie?
I want to add here is a link for anyone to get more information: www.truthencounter.com

ant farms

Are family got an ant farm about a month and a half ago. It didn't come with ants though. This past Saturday, we finally got the ants in the mail. It was during Michaela's birthday. We put the ants in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so the ants would not move around while we put them in the ant farm. It has now been 2 days and it is neat how they are making tunnels. We fed them a little piece of apple and gave them a few drops of water. It will be interesting to watch. If anyone knows anything about ant farms let me and my family know.

Does a third temple need to be built?

My question is whether or not a third temple needs to be built before Jesus returns to Earth for believers. I cannot think of clear scripture that would indicate that. Let me know if you know of any scriptures to support that.

Thanks,
Ben
