Left Hilton Head on Saturday…  Had a great time!  It was different than the Outer Banks, but just as fun, if not moreso.  Plus, it’s new, which makes a difference.  We liked it so much we’ve reserved two weeks for next June!

We’re in Washington DC now.  We went to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Monument, and the World War II, Korea, and Vietnam War memorials.  There were some moving moments, indeed, especially since it was father’s day.  One thing I have to say about my visit today is how clear it was that Lincoln truly served the union.  Today, it seems that 99% of our representatives serve themselves.  I hate to be cynical, but where have the great men like Lincoln gone?

Afterwards, we visited the Smithsonian museums of American and Natural history.  The Natural History museum was clearly trying to push evolution at every turn.  I don’t want to get into that debate, because I think it’s fruitless.  As a Christian, I believe that God created the heavens and the earth, and man in His image.  The Bible doesn’t say how, and frankly, I don’t really feel the need to speculate.  What frustrates me is that I don’t think the science surrounding evolution is objective.  It’s science with an agenda, which is oxymoronic.  There are many holes and unanswered questions that have been morphed into assumptions in Darwin’s theories for the specific point of trying to disprove God.  The science – and it in this case, the THEORY – should have to stand up on its own merits.  I’m not really suprised, though, because that book that everyone doesn’t want to believe accurately describes how people would feel about God in these days.

Enough preaching – that’s not the point, here!  Forgive my indulgence.  That said, we have a few more cool places to visit tomorrow.

Happy Father’s Day to all of you fathers out there!  I’ll be back next week…
