For those site visitors who are following our totals for museum pass usage, it's easy to notice a steady, growing amount of patrons that we are assisting. This week, we receiveda call from Wichita, Kansas. The caller related a past contact that we made here in Columbus some months ago. Thus, through word-of-mouth, the quality of the museum presentation and the prayers of faithful friends we continue to grow our pass total.
Mother's Day, May 13th - We don't usually take articles from other sources for our home page but this time we felt some excerpts from the Days of Praise devotional booklet would serve well. "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Genesis 3:20... Eve, as our first mother, experienced all of the great joys and great sorrows that all later mothers would know. She... had many sons and daughters (Gen.5:4) and probably lived to see many generations of grandchildren. It was to her that GOD had to say, "In sorrow that shalt bring forth children (Gen. 3:16)." She would suffer the first murdered child(Abel) and know the piercing of the sword through her soul as did Mary, the mother of JESUS.
It would take many articles to follow up on other such stories in scripture: Ruth, Jocabed, Hannah, Bathsheba, Mary, each had a spiritual parallel with Eve in some way. Won't it be good to see her on the other side.
The Bible
We search the world for truth, we cull
The good, the pure, the beautiful;
From graven stone, from written scroll
And all old flower fields of the soul.
Then weary seekers for the best
We come back laden from the quest
To find that all the sages said
Was in that book our Mothers read.
----Whittier
