"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
She ran the 2nd fastest mile (6:50) for 7th grade girls and that was with a bad knee. Her current grades for mid-quarter are:
Social Studies: B
Science: A
Math: C
Art: A
Gym: A
Read 180: A
We don't have a grade for her Choir, AIM Math (support math) yet, probably in the next few days.
And our Topsy Turvy Tuesdays just became more Turvy because Mim will be joining HOOPS, a basketball club in which they practice 2x/week and have games many weekends. I asked her if she liked BB enough for this time commitment asked of her and the rest of the family, she said yes. Her CC season ends next Tuesday so there will be overlap practices this week and Tuesday of next week, but then it will be BB all the way after that. Her first HOOPS practice is tonight.
