"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

Birthday Party for Two!!

The only downer was the fact that we were promised 2 hours of skate time and we only were given 1 hour since there were 2 Hockey games scheduled tonight. I talked with a person in charge and they said they owe something for the loss of time on the ice. We ended up staying for the first hockey game. I have NEVER been to a live hockey game before and I must say it was one of the most exciting sporting events I have ever been to. Who would have figured!! The kids all had fun in spite of the obvious shortage of skate time. Kids are so resilient.
