We ARE Wonderfully Made

(Tom Wacaster)

Over the past two decades, I have had numerous occasions to gaze upon the internal works of a computer.  I am always amazed at the circuitry and complexity therein.  An accident?  Of course not!  Now consider man.  As Shakespeare once said, “What a piece of work is man!”  Here is what our God has made:

The Ears:    As piano has 88 keys, but each of your ears has a keyboard with 1500 keys.  They are so finely tuned that you can hear the blood rushing through your vessels.  The outside of your ear can catch up to 73,700 vibrations per second.

The Eyes:    They are both microscopes and telescopes.  One can look upon a star millions of miles away, or inspect the smallest of insects.

The Feet:    Each foot has more than two dozen bones, none of which is wider than your thumb.  But the foot is so manufactured with its ligaments, tendons, muscles, and joints that a 300-pound man can put all his weight on these tiny bones.

The Heart: This little muscle is about the size of your fist, but it beats 4320 times an hour.  That amounts to approximately 40 million beats a year.  A single drop of blood can make a complete trip around your circulatory system in 22 seconds. (more…)

Government Insurance Bill Would Allow Coverage for Abortion… Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar / Associated Press… Washington–Health care legislation before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that would affect millions of women and recast federal policy on the divisive issue.  Federal funds for abortions are now restricted to cases involving rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother.  Abortion opponents say those restrictions should carry over to any health insurance sold through a new marketplace envisioned under the legislation, an exchange where people would chooe private coverage or the public plan.  Abortion rights supporters say that would have the effect of denying coverage for abortion to millions of women who now have it through workplace insurance and are expected to join the exchange.  (more…)

Happy Father’s Day

 We asked several people to write how their fathers influenced their lives. We hope you enjoy reading the following, and reflect on how your father influenced your life and wish him a good day.

 A father has many varying roles in the life of a family. Aside from being the spiritual head of the household, the provider, protector of bad dreams, and homework helper, my father also was the master mechanical engineer both at home and in his profession. When I was growing up my father traveled extensively overseas to visit customers. He made many friendships with people from Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America. He gave our family the opportunity to meet some of these people of diverse cultures – some of whom he still is in contact today. I always admired my dad’s business savvy and relationships all over the world. It showed me the importance of how to treat people with respect and integrity, no matter their background. Each person is made in God’s image.  Beth Payne Igney (more…)
