Creation Groans was on Saturday, and it was a huge success. As part of the day, I brought out my microscope and showed life in a drop of water, as an example of my 'Ecological Happy Place'. Below are some videos that I took the day before and after the event, of some really amazing creatures.

Creation Groans
Should Christians care for the environment? This is the leading question at a workshop being put on by myself and Ryan Scruggs on June 23 at Bow Valley Christian Church.

It should be a rewarding but challenging discussion, as we discuss the tension between evangelism and environmentalism, climate change, overfishing, the theology of creation care and much more! Snacks will be provided. See the poster for more information, or go to http://www.bvccweb.ca/creationgroans/index.htm

The main lesson from this is that there is a lot of life in our ponds (these images come from about seven drops of water), and that I am terrible at identification:
