SCUBA

This is Eilat where I'm doing my SCUBA certification this week. Petra and SCUBA have made this week kind of a doing-the-stuff-I've-always-wanted-to-do week. Today I was 30ft under the sea 4inches away from coral and swimming with schools of these beautiful, iridescent silver fish. Tomorrow I will be 45ft down with even more beautiful creatures. These animals are so colorful and so elegant. They are the most beautiful things I have ever seen, but they weren't even accessible until the first underwater breather was invented in the 1950's. Before that, no one even knew about one of the most beautiful things God ever created. I was trying to figure out why God would keep so much of his glory to himself for so long, and I realized that part of God's glory is that his creation is so endless. No matter how far outward we push or how much we come to see and understand about the world around us, we will never reach the limits of the beauty of God's creation. What a disappointing day it would be if we ever did.
