"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

Duck Feeding Frenzy

Neighbor A took the girls feeding the local pond of ducks today. Such a simple activity that brings so much joy to the girls. We went right after church and they had a blast. BTW, this was the man that I had many discussions about his racist attitude. He felt he had minorities all figured out (sterotypes, of course) since he had grown up in Chicago. Now look at him. He loves the girls. It shows that people and their attitudes can change.

Amazing. And amazing pictures, boy I can just feel the energy coming from the girls out of those pictures, lol.

I was at Academy Sports yesterday and saw some professional double-dutch jumping ropes. They were awesome and it made me think of you...and Lila, and our kids!
