Dedicated to the Preservation and Restoration of the Whole of Creation: Humans - Animals - Environment
"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)

One of the interesting features of the the Indian Pipe is that the plant lacks
chlorophyll and derives its nutrition from mycorhiza, tiny fungi that are
associated with the roots of the plant. Indian Pipe plants stand 4 to 10 inches
tall. In this photo, we can also see the small scale-like leaves on the stems.

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.
