spiritual thought of the day

yesterday me and two girls from my major made the trip to salt lake to see the "Body Worlds" exhibit at the salt lake library. it was soooooo cool. when people die they can choose to donate their bodies to science, and this is one of the ways they use it. they have so many different areas and you learn so much about the human body. this is what they look like, its kind of weird...

they are real human bodies that they preserve so you can see the different muscles, nerves, and organs in your body. one of my favorite parts was about the lungs. they had a set of healthy lungs and a set of smoker lungs... wow. seeing that will be reason enough to make someone quit. they had another part where they had (again kind of weird) baby fetuses ranging from barely formed to full term. it was so interesting to see this little tiny thing, 6 weeks old, and realize it has a heart. it was so neat.

anyway, youre probably wondering how this is a spiritual thought? let me explain. seeing that exhibit and the all the nerves and veins and how this organ works with this organ... its just impossible that it was all created "by chance". i truly beleive the human body is a masterpiece of work, God's masterpiece. there is no way to understand how different things in the body work and say that it all happened from a big bang. God really created every body and every body is an amazing masterpiece. thinking about this then led me to remember 1 corinthians 6:19 which reads, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"

i would definitely recommend going to the exhibit. it is awesome and brought me such a respect for this amazing gift that God has given me. (see i tied it all together nicely, didnt i?)
