After a quick 1-day turn-around from speaking in the Netherlands, we arrived mid-week at AOI’s Creation Family Mountain Adventure.

The reasoning used by individuals that tell us this is almost always based on 2 Peter 3:8. “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Is this verse speaking of the days of Creation being “as a thousand years”?
