The Creation Museum :: Why It Made My Heart Ache
Posted by: | Comments
This morning, Tricia and I had the privilege of visiting The Creation Museum just outside of Cincinnati, OH. We’d been once before, but really desired a return trip with more time set aside to read and experience all that the museum offers.
