"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
Her family was just a week away from picking her up from Guatemala, their beautiful 5 year old daughter Josi will never be coming home. They found out on Thursday night that she was stabbed to death in her home along with her foster family. The family are devastated.
Killings of women and children for unknown reasons, is unfortunately, an all too common occurrence in Guatemala, usually with no justice to follow.
Please keep this family, the relatives of the foster family, and the justice system of Guatemala in your prayers.

How incredibly awful. That poor little girl.
Oh my gosh Aves this is one of the most horrid things I've heard of. What kind of people are these that do this? I will pray for them and the spirit of that little girl and her foster family.
Oh my goodness, there are just no words to describe this sort of nightmare. We'll certain be praying for everyone.
How heartbreaking. I will be praying for them.
