Now that my office is (mostly) done, I think I need another project. Johan Huibers of the Netherlands is building his own 1/5 size replica of Noahâs Ark. He intends to stock it with farmyard animals and sail it on the interior waters of the Netherlands.
This isn't just a lark though. Huiber's is building this replica as a testimony of his faith. The line from the BBC article which I found most poignant was:
Mr Huibers, who plans to open the vessel as a religious monument and zoo, hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands.
I struggle to comprehend that European nations have so utterly forgotten the truth. But I do like Huiberâs approach. âThis will speak very much to childrenâ he says, âthey'll hear the creak of the wood, smell the smell of the dung.â
Honeyâ¦I want one. We could sail it around Puget Sound.
