History

I love history, so I love museums.  A week ago Sunday, I was in Omaha on a job.  On Sunday after church, I went to the Durham Museum in downtown Omaha.  I did not know what to expect.  

Well the museum is housed in the old Union Station.  The building by itself was worth seeing.  But wow!!!  The trains and old cars, the dinosaurs, it was all very fantastic.

the main building was still set up like a train station.

Real stagecoach from the 1800's

Real, non threatening buffalo.
by the way, what did the mother buffalo
say when her son left for school???
Bison

Again, not real, but pretty terrifying!

Meatasaurus.

More my size.

Lovely model trainset!!!

train cars that we could walk through

Old Omaha street car

caboose!

I love old trains.  My Dad loved old trains.

The building itself was amazing!!!

As I looked at all of the cool stuff, I thought what I always think... my gosh, these people did all of this amazing stuff, and now they are gone.  All the more reason to live each day to the fullest.  Make every day count.  We only go around once and we will not be here for ever.  Give it your best!

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
