Interesting I Think

Hi everyone, hope that you are enjoying the blog.  I am in Dallas for a conference this weekend.  I drove up on Thursday with my family and yesterday we went to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the King Tut exhibit.  It was a nice exhibit but I was disappointed because they did not have the death mask that is so famous nor did they have the ornate chest or the throne.  I was particularly dismayed because we purchased VIP tickets through our hotel so we would not have to wait or anything.  Needless to say, we were ushered in with the rest of the folks who bought regular tickets and had to fight the crowds to see the displays.  I was not pleased.  Particularly aggrivating was having to deal with all of the kids there on field trips.  I know that there was at least two going on while we were there.  Interesting enough, one of the trips was from a Christian school.  I could not help but think that this was ironic because here are the people who won't teach real science and teach fairy tales in school but they are bringing kids to the museum to see the work of real scientists.  I would never have thought that this would happen.  I could hear the pre-trip speech given:
"Now children, remember that you are going to see items dug up in the desert of Egypt.  The items will include all sorts of pagan idols that the evil Egyptians used to worship.  Now, this is before the plagues in Egypt and Moses but just remember that God executed judgement on these evil people for their idolatry."
Give me a break.  I had to step around these morons and their kids to see the artifacts of a once great civilization.  I just found all of this real interesting especially considering that the people here in Texas build churches along the interstate so that you can stop by for a visit if you want.  I actually passed a trucker's chapel at a truck stop that was built under an oil derek.  Wow.
