Simple Body ! No Way!
So now, “what is this creation, we call a body, that the bible says is Spirit, Soul and Body?”
I, give “thanks” every day, for the ability to awaken to the beauty of each new day,
to see that it is there for my use, to feel the joy and splendor of it all, and to move about with comfort and ease.

So “what makes-up the body?” When I found this data, could only say, “amazing”.
No way is it a simple body. Did You Know…( just came across this )

You have 100,000,000 receptors in your eyes to see with.

You have 24,000 fibers in each ear, to hear with

You have 500 Muscles, 200 Bones & 7 miles of nerve fiber to move with

You have a heart that pumps more than 600,000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of veins & arteries with 36,000,000 beats each year.
