    The Precious Moments Chapel is one of the most beautiful and strangest roadside attractions I've ever seen you visit. I almost wish I hadn't heard the tragic backstory behind them, but I'm happy they've brought so many people happiness and peace.

    The memorial, seen from above, is really beautiful and serene. Together with the wall of toys it is a valid and good memory of that terrible day in 1995. Together with all the smaller and bigger sights you shown us a very nice day and sunny day in Oklahoma.

    The guided tour of precious moment chapel is even better if you get a chance to do it. There are lots of hidden things in the paintings and you learn that the creator of precious moment got back on the scaffolding to repaint the clouds on the ceiling when he was like 80 years old because he didn't like the color anymore. Such good stories. Even if you aren't a collector, you will find this place is worth the stop.

Because we are superior beings then animals. Who might seem like they have feelings but we are very much separated from the beasts. The lord gave us spiritual knowledge and feelings for reasons. To speak to him and to know what is good and what is wrong. He also gave us souls to tell us this isnt our home. So we can live on after death.
