"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

Open House at our University

After church, the girls and I went to an open house at the University, specifically the College of Natural Resources and the Art building. We attended a raptor show, saw arthropods, bird mounts, reptiles, made a t-shirt, listened to music, and viewed an art exhibit from local artists. Both girls were amazingly good. It makes it easy to want to keep bringing them to events like this in the future.















Anybody ever see this before. Paint a side of a carp and then leave an impression on a t-shirt. Never saw it before but they loved it!!



Ve's shirt. Looks like a fossil.


Tuks' shirt...design that is left for the viewers interpretation.
