Amazing!!

Twenty years ago, Dana Carrozza said “yes” to a calling—without knowing just how many lives God would touch.

Today, we look back with full hearts and deep gratitude for every child placed, every family formed, and every story written by His hand. This year, we celebrate the children and the beautiful growth we’ve witnessed along the way. 💜

SHOTS FIRED IN THE COW PASTURE

Every single day, in cow pastures across the world, shots are fired. Most people never see them. That’s because they come from a fungus barely half a foot tall called Pilobolus.

This remarkable fungus lives on fresh dung from grass eating animals like cows, horses, deer, and other grazers. Pilobolus plays a vital role by breaking down dead and decaying matter. It begins as tiny spores that grow into thin threads feeding on manure. As it matures, a stalk rises upward, and near the top a swollen bulb forms, shaped like a miniature cannon barrel. Inside that bulb sit the spores. When morning sunlight hits it, the bulb fills with water. Pressure builds. At just the right moment, it bursts, firing the spores with astonishing precision up to six feet away.

That distance is not accidental. Cows will not eat grass anywhere near their own manure. They avoid it instinctively. So the spores must land far enough away on clean blades of grass to be eaten. Once consumed, the spores survive the cow’s digestive system thanks to a protective coating, then pass through and are deposited in fresh dung. The cycle begins again, perfectly timed and perfectly balanced.

Now consider what would happen if even one part failed. If the spores did not launch far enough, they would never be eaten. If they lacked protection, digestion would destroy them. If the fungus did not exist to decompose manure, fields would be buried in waste. This system only works because every part depends on every other part. That is irreducible complexity. That is design.

This is not random. This is not accidental. This is God’s brilliance on display in what seems like a mundane problem. I can almost picture God smiling as we slowly discover how precisely He solved it, revealing layers of wisdom in a creation He spoke into existence just thousands of years ago.

“He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth.”
Psalm 104:14
