Temple tour

We went to a Buddhist Temple today. It was a good experience. If you are asking why my Mom's face is RED is because she climbed 9 count them, 9 levels on a Pagoda, with Hannah in the baby carrier!!! She had fun doing it though! I was thinking though, we are lucky to have a relationship with Jesus, because these people are really LOST. They go to a temple to worship a smiling statue which will "bless them" with "good fortune". When we have a relationship with Jesus, we don't need to worry about going to see a statue daily, all we have to do is know that he is in our heart. It was kind've a culture shock. We can respect their rituals, but it's hard to understand why someone would want to bow to a statue, of a "god" who didn't do much on this earth. At least ours died for a cause, and for peoples souls. I'm just thankful that I have a relationship with the lving God, and not just some statue that is going to rust in time. When I get home, I will post a video of some of the "worshipping" they do. It's really crazy. Enjoy the slide show.
