More Than "Bodies Revealed"

While Melissa and I were in Sacramento, CA for Christmas, we went to an exhibit called Bodies Revealed for one of the days.  This exhibition is a portrayal of the human body in a marvelous way.  It shows the human bodies skeletal system, the circulatory system, the reproductive system, and the respiratory system.  While this all may sound boring, the interesting aspect of it is the fact that every exhibit was a REAL human body.  The exhibition has taken volunteers from two different areas in the world, and they have plasticized and dissected them to show the human body in its full form.  All of the real bodies showed how intricate and amazing the human body is.  

There was a full skeleton.  One exhibit showed every vein within the human body from the toes to the head.  There were babies (who all had died naturally in the mother's womb) from 6 weeks to 24 weeks after conception.  There were lungs with cancer and enlarged hearts.  I walked out stunned.  

The human body is unique (and that word cannot capture it.)  It is amazing.  It is beautiful.  Every aspect of the human body relies on each other part working effectively.  The brain relies on the heart and blood flow.  The stomach needs muscles to move and process food.  The bones need one certain element in order to be hard otherwise they would be jelly.  I can honestly say that I was reminded in a powerful way that God is amazing.  This exhibit gave me a new understanding of God "knitting us in our mother's womb."  I can honestly say that I found more than just a human body revealed in this place.  God was evident.
