Back last autumn, Brian and I went to Pennsylvania's Falling Water, a Frank Lloyd Wright house that literally sits on the water. I've talked about Wright's architecture in here before, but it always amazes me just how houses can be built perfectly balanced in unusual settings. I can't imagine being able to walk down my steps out to the water, or look down through a window from inside the house and see water rushing below.

Who else but a wise God could form such delicate flowers that grow despite the tropical heat?
