"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
gets to take French I in school. She has been wanting to do this for several years now, we even tried last year but then she wasn't in ESL support classes and within 3 weeks she was failing 3 classes. We took her out and put her in supported classes. This year she started at the high school, the ESL teacher stated at Back to School the other night that Mim didn't need ESL support for reading anymore since she is doing so well...she is now in French...and way excited about it and I am very happy for her since her hard work has really paid off for her...Way to Go MIM!!
