On Saturday, Jeremy & I went to the Body Worlds exhibit, now at The Leonardo, located at Library Square, downtown Salt Lake City. It was fascinating! You can learn all about your own body by viewing the insides of these humans who have donated their bodies to science. You can also see cross-sections of all sorts of body parts, and they'll usually have one for a non-smoker and one for a smoker. What a difference! It's disgusting! A big point of the exhibit is to help people "understand more about how their bodies work and how they can break down, so they are empowered to take a more active role in their own health choices." I know even I felt like taking better care of my heart after seeing the exhibit - I'm sure it would make a smoker want to quit even more.
The exhibit really make me wonder how people can see such a complex system that the human body is and NOT believe in a God who created it. Our bodies are spectacular in how we heal ourselves, how we function in optimal circumstances, and how we break down when not treated properly.
I highly recommend going! Tickets are $22, and the exhibit runs through November 15. It's very popular, so get your tickets right away. Just a tip, too...Saturday was very crowded, so if you can possibly go on a weekday, I recommend that.

Oh my goodness I totally want to go. Joshua feels it's disrespectful so I'm trying to round up some work buddies to go with me. Glad to see your good review.
Hey Sherrie...it's been great hearing from you. I think about you all the time and wonder how you're doing. I'm excited you go to go home for a visit. It has changed a lot there. I'm pretty excited they got a PF Changes there too. They finally have their priorities right! Well keep in touch my friend!
That picture's pretty scary!! I'm so happy to be back and connected with you again. Thanks so much for your concern. :)
I saw this on Montreal and loved it. I felt the same way you did: we are a work of art and wonder!
