Some friends of ours, Tom and Joyce Bartlett, invited us to Powell Gardens in Oak Grove, Missouri, the other day, and it was a very pleasant experience. It was also an opportunity for Ben to learn some science hands-on. The gardens have been developed over the years after a family estate left the farm to be developed as a botanical garden. Tom and Joyce brought their grandson, who happens to be close to Benjamin's age, and they had a very good time. It was a beautiful place to see and enjoy. I guess I couldn't help thinking that the donors could have donated the land to be sold to help preach the Gospel throughout the world but then again, sometimes you just need to stop and smell the roses and enjoy God's wonderful creation.
