"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
Crazy day today...the new roof is being put on the garage (the old one
was found to be leaking), the new stove/oven range was brought today
(the old range control panel went out 4 weeks ago (we have been out of a
oven that long) and it cost less to replace the entire unit than just
fix the control panel), and now the LP gas company (new one for us) is
replacing the 250 gallon tank with a 500 gallon tank..(we did this so we
can prepay 1500 gallons to get us through a winter if we have a repeat
of last winter)...all this replacement and fixing has been happening
since 10:00 am. It's funny how it takes weeks and months to arrange all
this and then in one day it all gets done...freaky crazy morning!!!
