Spider silk
I hate to admit it, but I just don’t like spiders. However, Mary Jo and I just got back to our house after being gone a week, and I found a nice spider web. Although I quickly got rid of it (and contemplated where the spider might appear), the web made me think of God’s amazing design. Spider silk is actually stronger than steel of the same diameter.

We began coming to the lake about 30 years ago, when our oldest daughter was around three years old, and our youngest daughter was only months old. There we have spent hours of camping, boating, water sports, swimming, fishing, hiking, and exploring.
