Have you ever been on the beach at sunset? I remember years ago being on the beach at LaJolla, California on a family trip. It was evening and as the sun was setting, it cast a brilliant glow over the Pacific Ocean. No amount of words can describe the beauty we saw that evening, but what struck me was that everyone on the beach had the same reaction. We all stopped what we were doing and just stared at the magnificence of that fleeting moment. You’ve seen it too, beauty that is dazzling. Once, during my neurosurgery residency, I had a long spell of working on call and went for several weeks without leaving the hospital except at night. Then on my first Saturday off, I drove through the Virginia countryside while the autumn leaves were at their peak. My eyes could almost feel the color! It was a stunning beauty that even a photographer could not capture.

I have had more time to be amazed at our creation lately. This site was inspired by looking at spirals in nature. Our pastor once showed a picture of a spiral galaxy, and it looked so much like a hurricane. Why should such very different creations look so similar? It got me thinking.
