While browsing the news this week I came across some sad news. Tam, one of the last remaining Sumatran Rhinos, has died. I guess it’s not really up there with some of the really terrible stuff in the news but it is symptomatic of how humans, as a whole, are treating the earth.
Our bible starts with a tree-y garden built around four rivers which are described with what seems almost an unnecessary amount of detail.

God has created a truly diverse and amazing world. On Saturday I shared about the Japanese puffer fish that creates complex and beautiful sand art on the sea floor to attract a female using only its fin.
Another creature that astounds me with their innate skills is the tailorbird.
"But those who drink the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
