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)
(Jack in the Pulpit - 01) The most distinctive feature of the jack-in-the-pulpit
is its hooded flower, but it can often be overlooked as being just another leaf,
as it is mostly viewed from the top. However, the three pointed leaflets of the
palmate leaf atop a stem in close proximity to the "pulpit" make it stand out on
the floor of moist woods and thickets. Sometimes, as in this picture, there will
be two 3-fingered leaves forming a "V".

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.
