"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

This morning

After sitting on it last night, I decided to allow the girls to earn back what they had lost. I informed Tuki that she will have to earn her pieces of gum back through good behavior and Ve will earn back the soccer games each week through working on not lying, but her Easter Basket is gone, maybe, I may give her a piece day by day as she works on not lying. I am still thinking about this one.

I still feel like crap. The biggest concern I have in all this lying is that Ve has a hard time processing and problem solving UNLESS she decides she wants something she is not to have. Then she comes up with very elaborate and creativee stories. I am not so worried about the impulsive, "oh oh" I got caught lies, but the pre-planned lies to get something that is not allowed scares the H@@@ out of me because I feel if I can't help her to stop this behavior she may wind up in deep trouble some day. Plus she is destroying my trust little by little. Will I ever be able to trust her when she is given a chance...I have no answers to all these thoughts, just a lot of questions.
