Those of you who know me, know that I'm a numbers man. Where Carolyn can retain names, I retain numbers. I see patterns, primes, quotients. I remember numbers that have little need to be remembered.
So on Friday, while I was totally hooked up to the ER monitors, I'd occasionally look over to check my vitals - you know, to see if I was flat lining or anything (just kidding). Blood pressure was good and low around 115/75, respirations around 20 per minute and heart beats of around 72 per minute.
Do you realize what an amazing machine our hearts are? 72 beats per minute, 4,320 beats per hour, 103,680 beats per day. Nearly 38 million beats per year. By the time you're 25, your heart has worked almost flawlessly for 946 million beats and mine has worked over 2.1 billion and I'm hoping for over 3 billion!
God does some amazing work! And I'm extremely grateful that the hours He's numbered for me have not yet been fully counted.
