Betty Baker adjusted her name badge as she finished drinking her third cup of coffee. " Claudette" she said to her coworker as she stood up from a breakroom chair and put her coffee cup in the sink. " I sure hope it is busy today".
A bell rang and she walked out to see a family of four standing by the register. " Good morning, I'm Betty". She handed a pen to the man. " Welcome to the Birds of the Bible Museum". She smiled. " If you could please put your names in our register". " Would you like a free tour?".
The young man grinned at his wife. " They have a free tour".  His wife nodded her head. " Sure".
She put the register by the front door. " To begin the tour" she said as she pointed down a hallway. " We''ll be going this way".
They walked toward an exhibit. Betty stopped in front of a display of a beautiful white bird in flight. " This first display is of a Dove which is a bird mentioned several times in the Bible including Matthew 10:16".
The wife raised her hand. " Isn't the Dove important as far as the Baptism of Jesus?".
" Yes, that is true". Betty grinned. " When Jesus came out of the water, the heavens were opened and the Spirit of God descended on him like a Dove".
Betty pointed at the bird. " Doves are harmless, peaceful birds who are used as symbols of the Holy Spirit".
