"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
I was on a small blogging hiatus since my computer died and was in the shop. It's now back home in its appropriate parking spot. I have also been extremely busy at school with the 8th graders and the weather unit. Great Unit, BUT very challenging. Starting at 2:55 pm today we will be on our break for 11 days....11 days. Can hardly wait. The one thing I long for the most is to sleep in past 5:00 am for me and 5:30 am for the girls. Slumberland here we come!!!!!!
