Talked about this during our afternoon hang out… the Kwok brothers of Hong Kong are building themselves a life size replica of Noah’s Ark. Here it is.

Apparently the ark – which houses a resort hotel and a museum among other attractions – occupies 270,000 square feet. No word on what it cost the Kwok’s to build.

Are you getting pumped up to see Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W Smith in Sioux City on Friday yet?! This is a pretty epic pairing of artists when you consider all that these folks have done for CCM music. It’s almost like they invented it in its moder form – with Amy Grant sharing a lot of that label as well. So could there be much cooler for a Christian music fan than to behold these two veterans on one stage?! I caught a concert review detailing what one of their shows is like – from Jesus Freak Hideout. I think one of the coolest things to look foward to at that United Tour stop will be that they are reportedly singing several of each other’s songs each. SCC singing “Place in This World”! Who would have thunk this?!
