"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.

was Mim's 14th birthday. Her party will be held on Sunday, June 5th.....Last night we went shopping and she picked out a 2 skirts, 1 shirt, and nail polish. She wanted a MP3 player, but we quickly found out that any player worth purchasing was way out of our price range. She decided to earn money this summer to buy one for next year. She has a job working at a friend of mine for 3 - 4 hours once each month, plus our neighbor (and my co-worker) has offered her the job of cutting grass and little upkeep while they are out of town this summer. So she should have no problem earning the money. Friends at school decorated her locker for her birthday. I have pictures but I need to download them. My oldest is getting older......:(
