Amanda, one of my dear friends from graduate school, was up in DC for work and we had a great opportunity to hang out. We went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, which had some new exhibits. One of our favorites was the gem/crystal/mineral exhibit where a plethora of precious gems, famous vintage jewelry pieces and crystals of all shapes/sizes/colors were displayed. After viewing the different displays of animals, oceanic life, jewelry, and dinosaur bones, I am again reminded of God's creativity. Why did he decide to create oceanic currents and have the cooler currents run underneath the warmer ones? Why did he decide to give the Irish elk antlers so large that he eventually became extinct? Why did he make diamonds one of the hardest materials in the world? Amanda and I decided that we hope there's an orientation time when we get to Heaven so all these questions can be answered!
