Before I took on the job of “professional blogger” with WOC, I served as an associate producer with RBC’s Day of Discovery television. During my time with DOD I had the neat opportunity to help in the production of two TV series on the wonder of creation. The first was a four-part series on the wonder of a tree, done in 2002. This required video shoots in the Pacific Northwest and then in Lebanon, where I had the unforgettable experience of visiting with our crew one of the oldest groves of the biblically “famous” cedars near the summit of Mt. Lebanon.
The second was a three-part series on the wonder of soil that aired just last month on the three Sundays leading up to Thanksgiving. The timing of those broadcasts was ideal— my considering Thanksgiving to be the true Christian “Earth Day.”
Now you have the opportunity to watch both of those series online—right where you now sit! Each program is about 25 minutes long. If you do watch any of them, I’d love to have you tell me what you think.
See you outdoors!

How wonderful, and wonderfully exciting! I can’t wait to see it. We have it here at home, I mean the one on the soil. And the other. I hope many more are to come!

I watched the first episodes of both The Wonder of a Tree and The Wonder of Soil.
I had to pause a few seconds to even think of how to express my thoughts, because they are inadequate for how I feel. The programs are not just excellent, which they both are, not just bringing glory to God, which they both do, not just very accurate in detail, which they both are, they are the best I have experienced.
My hat is off to RBC for these, and thanks to you Dean, for sending the links.
I will watch them further, and encourage others to as well.

I watched both episodes, and wow! They both clearly explained complex scientific issues and relationships in nature, all while putting the topics into a biblical perspective. Not an easy task. They would be excellent in grade school classrooms, yet are mature enough for adult education, as well. And for those of us who are somewhat familiar with both topics? I for one was blessed and encouraged by this review of God’s infinite greatness. Thanks for putting so much into these productions. I hope you will see much fruit from them!
