Cardiograms and God

I was having a ‘cardiogram’ (it’s a long story, I’m fine).  The cardiologist and I watched my heart on the monitor as it methodically and energetically thumped away. I was like a child in a candy store. ‘What’s that?’  Why is that bouncing like that? She patiently explained.  We both agreed that the heart is a wonderful, powerful piece of work.  I just laid it out, ‘Wow! I gotta say that I’m in God’s camp on this,’ I said.  ‘So am I.’ she responded. A little later I was chattering about the human genome - how they used to say that it was 85% evolutionary waste but now they have found that as far as they can tell, at least 65% of our DNA has a functioning role.  ‘One more evidence that our bodies were designed, I state triumphantly’.  I discovered that her book club had read ‘HeLa’ too and recommended ‘Unbroken’ for their enjoyment. “Unbroken” is not only a story of courage but of a man who finds Jesus Christ as his ultimate reason for living (written by a biographer who simply records the facts)! Just planting seeds - bringing God into the conversation wherever I go.  The long arm of Aspen Ridge Church.
