FEATURES: Cellular Metabolism & the Miracle of Creation
M ETABOLIC PATH W AY Hilda Boateng
Cell metabolism is a metabolic pathway. Catabolism releases energy just like how we need to release our body,soul, heart unto God. Anabolism requires energy just like how we have to require Jesus in our life to get to God. God has made this beautiful nature for us to admire His good works , so why don't we do the same for Him? The tree leaves are starting to turn different colors and the grass is starting to feel gloom, and this expression is all for us! We should give our all as Jesus gave His all for us to admire today in this nature! A cell requires many things for it to work, but we just need one thing to help us work and keep us going through the day. We should never take advantage of what God has built for us!
PURPOSEFUL JOURNEY Arianna Wyant
Cell M etabolism: A cell's daily operations, Accomplished through the biochemical applications, That take place within the cell?s foundations. Thanks to our Almighty God, Reactions are turned on and off, Sped up and doffed. All according to the cell's immediate needs, speeds And overall functions. At any given moment; The numerous pathway components, Involved in building up and breaking down cellular elements M ust be monitored and balanced in a coordinated development. Isn?t it crazy how He planned this all out proportionally? Permanently, purposefully? Perfectly organizing cells reactions, Into various enzyme-powered transactions. All this to achieve just one goal, He?s the only one to make us whole.
H IS GREAT CREATION Jeriah Cline
The Lord is an awesome creator. He created everything in the universe in 6 days and rested on the 7th. I see so many things in this pond that are just a small amount of his creation but a great wonder. I see so many cattails in the water. God designed these plants to survive in the water. Part of the reason for this is photosynthesis, which God designed for a purpose. The cells in the plant die and then they will reproduce. This is a part of protein synthesis because cells need the dna to reproduce. I see so many different colors on the trees. This is because of the different pigments in the leaves. God has given us such a great wonder to observe in the fall time. Only a creator such as him could of thought of this. There are ducks that just flew into the water. He created ducks in such an awesome way. They flew into the air, but do not fall down. They were created with very light bones. For a duck to fly there must be so much energy inside of that duck to fly. Well through the electron transport chain ATP is created for that duck to have that much energy to fly. That is such an amazing thing. I just see so many things God created. I still do not understand how everything works. I do know that just these few things that I described could not of been a cosmic accident as evolutionists say. No, I know each one of these things I see around the pond have their own special purpose that God gave them. Only a creator could do that.

Each living thing in life we see each day goes through a process W ith different components and factors Affecting their functions Enzymes, and proteins, and organelles All contributing to the cell. W ith cycles to create energy, And breakdown energy, God thought all these tiny steps through to keep life around us to continue. W ith the millions of cells around us and in us each day, Constantly changing as time passes by, Surely He took the time to create a blueprint of what each living object was to do. Leaves changing, flowers blooming, the dew forming on grass, All take place from metabolic processes. W ith observation on a molecular level, one can see how they help life to survive and continue And build As the process happens over And over again. He thought all this through because of His love for us. He wanted us to have a beautiful world. W hat surrounds us every day is a product of God's miracles And creations He provided the reactants needed to create a beautiful substance called life.
GREAT NATURE Leah Seifu
Light reflects the source where all life connects: A cove of serenity, a preeminent identity. A single unit replicates, and constantly regenerates. A moment to unwind, a helix of mankind. Life is a wonder, everyday we discover. From the moment we began, our lives in Your hand. A joyous journey, I will not worry. Through Him and from Him and for Him all things, (Romans 11:36) He is the one and only, M y King. From today to the next, my soul will confess, "There is no greater creator of nature, than my God, my Savior."
W INTER BEAUTY Jana'y Zellars
I see the sun reaching Grasping for his love His beloved Earth Trying to close the distance I see the Earth A crystalline jewel In love with the sun Desiring to receive love Finally the light years shorten Stretched miles shrinken No longer far apart The sun and the Earth meet As his loving hand Glides over her wanting body That special moment of ecstasy The climax is reached The resulting burst of passion Is the beauty we see W hen the sun?s light reflects Off of the Earth?s winter skin
