"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round

Well the students don't have to make up the "tornado day", but teachers do, so now we attend school until next Friday. Yep, that is June 15th... hard to believe. That only leaves me one full day and this weekend to prepare to leave town for 12 days.


I think I have things sorted out...and all bases are covered.

My travel plans are the following:
1. End of June drive to Milwaukee, stay overnight with B, and then board the plane for Houston.
2. Arrive in Houston, brother and his family will drive us to Louisiana to their home.
3. Brother takes me (Owl stays with them) to the airport in Houston and I fly out for Haiti.
5. Stay in Haiti (and pray I don't get the flu going around). Spend time with Hawk and other kids at the orphanage.
6. Three days later, arrive in Houston, love on my precious Tuki, stay overnight in a hotel and then the next day we fly back to Milwaukee.
7. Depending on how we feel, either drive back home or stay overnight..
8. Then awe "Home Sweet Home", and finally rest!!!!!!!!!!!

Because in only six weeks (boy will we enjoy these) from the end of June, the cross country running season starts.......and I have to get back in shape so I can run with the team.

I am tired just writing and thinking about all of this.......

But, I wouldn't change a thing...what good parent wouldn't make a little sacrifice for their family........
