Human Rem(a)inders

ball of femur

And now it’s MIDNIGHT on Halloween! Click here for real human bones. This little man in the picture lives - well where else? - under my bed. I bought him when I was working as a massage therapist. He’s actually what they call a 'disarticulated skeleton' which means his parts come all separate and you get the fun of studying them and holding them in your hand.  When I get to doubting that there’s a plan in this here universe I take this guy out and study him. Look at the perfect ball that is the rounded part of his thighbone up top here! Yesterday in exercise class, a woman protested the 100th leg lift. “I have a great big titanium ROD in my leg! Have mercy!” she said.Well God didn’t use no titanium. God used calcium carbonate for the bones of the babies S/HE made. They're lightweight, affordable, and come in nice designer shades of cream and ivory, and THEN S/he went and installed these amazing little blood-production factories in ‘em. So don’t talk to me about the power of Evil. Anyone can kick a thing down but only love and attention to detail can make it!
