Yesterday we had more of a transition day, while we were still touring it was not your average tour day. Since one of the purposes of our trip to DC is to look at power and how it can be used for good and for evil we used this last touring day to contrast the two. First we took the kids to view The Holocaust Museum for any of you that have not been, it is probably the most powerful museum in all of DC. We looked at how Hitler attempted to kill an entire race of people and how he used the emince power he had for evil. After see the evil that mankind had do we wanted to show the kids what mankind can do when they use power for scarifice. So we headed to Arlington National Cemetery to witness the changing of the gaurd at the tomb of the unknow solider. I remember one of the kids saying in our debrifing time, that it was just such a contrast to see how the Nazi's treated human life when they were exterminating the Jews and then to see how the military honors the lost life a of a fallen soilder when they dont even know who he is. I think that it was a hard day for the kids emotionally but i think God has begun to do great things with in their hearts and i cannot wait to see what he does this upcoming week.
