"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

It is nice


The week went well, now we are off until Tuesday and that is the day we meet our new students for the year. It has been, well amazing, not having to go to cross country (CC) practice after a full days work. It is nice knowing that I will be picking Tuki up in 8 hours instead of 10 or more hours later, and it is nice being in one school again. I feel like I have come home after a long absence. I mean this in terms of work and family. Does any one else just sit and stare at their child(ren) sometimes and think how incredibly beautiful, smart, gifted, and amazing they are?? or am I the only wacko out there??? Life feels peaceful this week and hopefully it continues on into next week with the students and then through Friday night when I will be subbing for the head CC coach at a meet since his son is getting married the next day.
