"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
Mim ran a 2:48 in the conference track meet last night. Only 7 - 7th grade girls qualified to compete in the meet. She did great this season, and we did find out that she is not competitive at any distance shorter than a 400. She made a lot of friends in the track season, and I can tell she really enjoyed it more than her other sports. I think it was partly due to her feeling more comfortable with all the changes she has experienced in the last 1-1/2 years. I like the characters of the girls she is befriending too.
And as of today, we only have 13 days left of this school year..
