I feel we seldom really appreciate the magnificent structure God has given us – our bodies. Today I was applying some caulk around our newly renovated back porch.
This caulk is made by DAP. It comes out white and then dries to a clear color. The label on the cartridge says it’s guaranteed for 50 years. I hope it lasts for 10 years.
Anyway, my method of applying the caulk is to first lay a bead down from the caulking gun. Then I smooth the bead with my finger.
Fingers are marvelous devices. They are unbeatable for smoothing out a bead of caulk. I just ran my finger down the bead and left behind a beautiful concave fillet. The human finger is so nicely populated with nerves that you can keep a very consistent pressure to achieve your desired results.
Of course then I had to wipe off my finger and wash my hands. Fortunately, the caulk is latex based and easily cleans up with water.
But I still marvel at all the things our bodies can do. What machines we live it.
