"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

Making Jello



I feel like I need to post something, anything, but I really don't have the gumption to do so. Am I running out on the joy of blogging?!, Maybe. Am I learning to chill, without any really great insights, thoughts, or need to share my personal life on a blog?! Maybe. This summer has been all about making jello (which by the way I dislike--the real thing that is, not this analogy) Have I lost you yet? LOL

For my summers I try to plan some huge outings, somewhere, anywhere, for the the last few years it has been Haiti. I thought I may be going this summer, to pick up Mim... it probably won't be happening for awhile, so we are making jello...you know, how right after you mix all the ingredients together you have to let it set in the refrigerator to allow the mixture to form chemical bonds that can't be broken, no matter how hard you shake it. Well, that is what we are doing...forming long lasting chemical bonds between Tuks, Ve and me, so that no matter how hard we may be shaken in the future, the bonds can't be broken...so here we sit all summer in the fridge bonding. Not too exciting, but definitely necessary.

Love the jello analogy-that's great. Hoping your getting Mim sooner rather than later.
