(Four Mile Point Preserve - 22 April 2011 - 07) As we walked further southward along the rocky cliff, it became more and more weather eroded, as evidenced by the crumbled rock slop below the rock face of the cliff.

Lamb Right Lamb Left 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.
