"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)
(Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) - 02) This is a roadside milkweed waiting for
the return of the monarch butterflies; but alas, they haven't returned this
year. We don't know whether it is the result of spraying for the West Nile
Virus or as the result of the killing of more than 20,000,000 monarchs in
Mexico. The monarch butterflies migrate there each fall and return here in the
spring. In any event, it is an environmental disaster. Since monarchs are
believed to return to the areas where their mothers laid their eggs on the
milkweed, it is doubtful if they will return in the near future.

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.a
