"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
(Thistle, Bull - 01a) In this photo of the bull thistle, we can see a
mature bract after the bloom has disappeared, and a smaller bract that is ready
to send forth its flowery bloom. We can also see the winged stem with its small
leaf-like projections, and the pinnate leaflets with their broad veins, which
are even more pronounced from the underside and give the bull thistle its
scientific name, Cirsium, which comes from the Greek word cirsos, meaning
"swollen vein."

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
