Christian Body Relationships 97

Two Girls Similarly, members of the Household Body need to support Christian body relationships. Two killer whales swim alongside another that has become sick and cradle it on their backs so it can breath the air at the surface. Geese fly in a "V" shaped formation to slipstream each other. When the lead bird tires from the wind's buffeting, it drops back and another replaces it. In mist or clouds, they honk to locate one another. By flying together, rather than singly, they cover much greater distances.

Arm Consider a conditioned runner in a long distance race. "When the body begins to overheat, sweat glands release liquid to cool it. When it starts to run low on sugar, which is fuel for the muscles, a hormone from the pancreas tells the liver to release stored sugar into the bloodstream. As the legs need more oxygen, the brain signals the heart to beat faster. Blood flow to the internal organs and upper body is shut down by 80% so that more blood gets to the legs and to the heart. Deep breathing brings in more air. Blood vessels in the legs dilate 400% to accommodate the increased flow of blood. All of this enables a person to run long distances."¹ Christian Body Relationships are incredibly complex when orchestrated by Christ who is the head.
