The Creator’s Commission
February 1, 2023 | Marcos Barrios ES ‘24
God didn't go after Adam and fix his work, editing the names Adam chose. Certainly, God would have chosen better, more beautiful, more meaningful names for the animals. But like a father hanging up the messy scrawl of their child's artwork on the fridge, God proudly displays the work of His image bearer.
A Rumination with Reepicheep: The Wonder of Animals
Sept 14, 2020 | By Bella Gamboa JE ‘22
The room in the aquarium is darkened, each tank illuminated from a hidden source. Against the artificial blue background, a thin, pale filament drifts into view and is soon followed by the billowing body of a jellyfish. Contracting slightly, filling again with water, slowly moving. Yet it lacks a brain or recognizable organs, as it fills the viewer with undeniable wonder! This creature, unconscious yet an animal still; elusive, with some species practically immortal; delicate but painful or even dangerous to the touch.
