"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

to post the 4th photo from my 4th folder.
I am in the blue jacket in front.
The group I summitted 13,700 foot Grand Teton in Wyoming in the year 2003. Here we are at the summit. It took us 14 hours to technical climb, scramble and hike up and down only 200' since we started at the base camp located at 11,700 feet. We stayed at base camp for 2 days prior to the summit for training and altitude acclimation.
Anyone else interested can go ahead and do this tag, just comment back to me so I can check it out.
