"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
Access score is 5.2, amazing when considering the fact that a year ago it was a 2...she jumped 3 whole levels in one year. We talked and we both feel it is due to her reading. I require it. Why? because studies have proven that people who can read and read well and are able to do math are quite successful in their life endeavors. If only we can figure out the lack of short term memory, and lack of problem solving strategies.....in time..I hope.
Ve's score didn't even go up 1 level from a year ago and I think it is because it is a daily battle to get her to read..thus she hasn't made the gains Mim has in a shorter period of time, at a much older age.
