silly things one thinks about when there's too much time on hand [installment 2]

welcome to yet another installment of 'silly things one thinks about when there's too much time on hand'.. today's topic is on another silly, nonsensical one.. round of applause please!! let's hear it for 'VALVES'..

right, that's what you all are gonna say.. but unfortunately i'm the one calling the shots here so you have to listen to me..

well, so much for high-flow valves or low-flow valves.. whatever those valves are.. eventually we still have to crack our brains to fix them up and bring about the correct flow rate required.. but let's look at the most wonderful valve system in the whole world, whereby the flow rates have all been calculated and there's no need for after-sales to be done and all, unless one develops atherosclerosis.. so let's hear it for our blood circulatory system..

don't you think that it's so wonderfully made? think about this, although the pressure of the blood flood upon the point of leaving the aorta is so high, it is sufficient to pump the blood throughout the whole body once through.. my gosh, just think of the distance covered.. think of all the little capillaries, where the pressure is low enough not to burst the vessel, yet high enough to allow the continual flow of blood still.. think of all the head losses.. goodness, i bet hydraulic calculations still can't beat this man.. and look at the valves at the veins, which are so wonderfully designed to prevent the backflow of blood.. yet having sufficient muscles around the walls to contract and force the blood forward back to the heart..

does it just make you marvel at Him? man takes years to figure all these out but at the beginning, He has already known it all.. and He puts the 'system' in us, such that we can figure it out as technology advances.. He has such great wisdom, no wonder solomon asked for wisdom as well.. i'm just quite thankful that we are so wonderfully made, even the little details have all been taken care of... well, although most of our systems within bear much resemblance, but externally, we really do differ.. and that's what makes us special.. despite the difference, we are still created in His image..

formed from dust, yet we are still 'precious in His eyes.. because of His great love, He gave His only Son.. everything was done, so You would come..'
