"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

Christmas eve gift opening

Tomorrow morning they will open presents from Santa, and then we finish our prep for the guests arriving at 1:00pm...Tomorrow Ve also turns 8, so I gave her her gifts tonight and the family will celebrate her birthday on New Years day as we have done in the past.

We opened presents from each other tonight. The girls went shopping with Kiki to buy me some gifts this year and I must say they did a FANTASTIC job. I was impressed with how intuitive they were. I think they liked all their presents as well, but the winter hats were the biggest hit with them all...as you can tell..they wore the hats all night.

The girls also went to Christmas Eve service with Grandma since I decided to stay home and keep cooking!!

Your girls are growing so fast! I love the winter hats, too...just don't get to wear them much here. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas at your house.
