"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
Today was the last day of school with my students. It was a bitter sweet day because next year I will teaching in the other junior high in our town, and I may never see this year's students again. I really enjoyed this year, and I mean really!! I could hardly believe the year is over for the summer. Teachers have to go three more days and then we are done. Don't get me wrong, I will most assuredly enjoy my summer, but I also enjoyed this past year like I never have before. Hopefully, I will stay on this good trend in the future!!!
