Amidst the busyness

Again i find myself desperately trying to do anything but schoolwork (I worked on my nursing paper all last weekend, had 4 quizzes this week, and needless to say, i'm taking the break that my grades cannot afford!). So I find myself frantically searching my mind for SOMETHING witty or funny or clever to say, and i'm afraid i've come up emptyhanded in all areas.
The only somewhat intelligent thing that i have to say actually comes from a book that im reading, so it's not even my idea (I'm afraid my brain is in permanent wind down mode right now). So back to the book (called "God is Closer Than You Think"... oh man, i was totally about to APA reference that.. you know that school's getting to you when...). It seems that everyone's blogs have been alot about the beauty of nature lately. Not that I'm disputing God's creation or anything (stars are pretty much the most amazing thing ever), but what about the most amazing thing of all.. humans (wow do i sound conceited.. but bear with me, because that's not who this blog is about...hey! i heard that sigh of relief!). I mean, there's not two people EXACTLY alike on the whole entire planet. Out of however many billion people there are on our planet, there's no two people who have the same likes, dislikes, eyes, noses, mouths, ears, brains (and i could pretty much go on forever with all sorts of complicated anatomy terms that you've never heard of and that i really don't know what they are, so i'll spare all of us the torture and just end it here) And the fact that we can think and feel and make stuff and dream, and just how intricately our bodies work (which i find out in GREAT detail in my anatomy and physiology classes). But the most amazing thing is that humans are created in the likeness of God. In my book it says that we are "God's body on earth," and "bearers of image of God." What a crazy huge responsibility! It's kind of humbling to know that he chose us lowly stupid humans to make beautiful (through and in him), and to represent him on earth! And not even just physically representing him, (which is basically living and "being" who we were created to be) but also conveying his personality and amazing love as well! I don't know about you, but it scares me to have somebody so important entrust me with something so huge!

And that's about my tired brain can handle for now.. hope you enjoyed my second attempt, or at least had a good nap in the middle!
