Not by Coincidence

I've had a lot of experiences this week that remind me that life is not just a huge pile of coincidences.  

On Monday I was able to view a triple bypass heart surgery (and I didn't even faint!).  To see the heart at work is an incredible experience.  But, to learn how and be able to witness the body work to survive and eventually heal is amazing.  The knowledge, skills, and technology we have now to save lives is beyond my comprehension.  This is not by coincidence.

Yesterday I went with my dear friend Erin to tour the Capitol.  (Might I add that my sister far exceeded the abilities and charisma of our tour guide.)  At the beginning of the tour we were shown a short film to educate visitors on the history of the Capitol and Congress.  The struggles of our country's founding fathers came to life once again for me.  There is no doubt in my mind that God's hand was in the creation of our country.  Our Constitution was not created by happenstance.  It was not a coincidence.  

If God is able to create and inspire, maybe there is hope.
