_{More than 28,000 people were in line on Saturday, March 16, to tour The Ark, a Noah's Ark-inspired children's building at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas.}

_{The Ark's public grand opening was held on March 16, and on March 17 it opened its doors to 13 Sunday school classes and an 840-person worship room for children ages 3 to 7. During the week, The Ark is used for mother's-day-out events and other programs for children and church members. Within the first hour of its opening last weekend, thousands of people waited in line to be among the first to experience the 28,400 square foot Ark firsthand.}

Maurice Griffin was abandoned as a baby. At the age of three, he found a loving family in foster parents Lisa Godbold and her husband, Charles. Over the next ten years they gave him a happy, stable family life. But Griffin says the foster care system failed him and took him away from his foster family at the age of 13. He ended up bouncing around from other foster homes to group homes but never felt they were family like the Godbolds.

Fast forward many years and in 2009, the Godbolds found Griffin through social media. The enduring mother-son bond led them to a courtroom on Friday, where the Godbolds officially adopted Griffin as their son.

Iram Leon was 32 years old when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in November 2010. His brain tumor has forced him to make a lot of adjustments. He can’t drive, work or play contact sports, which is really hard for him because he wanted to bond with his 4 year old daughter.

So he decided to run. That was one of the few things he could do. And he’d push his 4 year old daughter in a stroller in front of him when he ran. Before long, the duo was registering for official runs, completing several half marathons and 10Ks. For weeks they tried to register for the Gusher Marathon in Beaufort, Texas, but he was turned down because strollers weren’t allowed in the race. But he persisted and didn’t let the organizers down. He won the race with a time of 3hours, 7 minutes and 35 seconds. Or, as he likes to say, he came in second to his daughter.
