Combing the sea shore for shells is a beloved activity of all ages. Sand dollars are one of the most prized treasures found at the beach. The off-white disk of the sand dollar is actually its skeleton, or test. These little ocean creatures carry a message about the world’s history and the Creator Jesus Christ’s intricate design and purpose in creation.

"Then God said,
'Let there be light';
and there was light."
Genesis 1:3 NKJV
