"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

Long time no post

It has been busy.

We found out that Mim only has 1 credit that is required next year in her senior year. So sh will have smooth sailing next year. Thank goodness because she has had a heavy load in classes this year and doing well too. She said she wanted to still go full time next year so she will graduate with about 27 credits which will look great for her college applications.

Ve passed into freestyle skating. If she stuck with it, then it would cost a great deal of money. So she had to choose between basketball and skating. She choose basketball, which means she ill not be in the skate how this year. Tuki is 2 classes away from passing out and then she chooses.

I am in the middle of a principal practicum, but I must admit it hasn't been that rough so far....???

I have been reading murder mystery after murder mystery...and I love them because they are so engaging to me. They really make me think. I have only been able to run about once each week since I have been pretty sick since October 10th..still a little dizzy but definitely feeling better.

Financially things have been tough. I had to purchase a 500.00 keyboard, a 1500.00 car and over 900 for fresh meat. It has really been tight month to month.. I hope it gets easier soon, but I doubt it...

I need more money from somewhere but I still haven't gotten it.

Mim has been applying for jobs within walking distance but to no avail...

I started attending a struggling teen group from my church and it turns out all the families, 3 of us, are all dealing with teens that have been adopted...funny that...it turns out that adopted teens tend to be immature and have faulty cause and effect thinking without remorse...we all keep trying and hopefully our teachings will take hold.

In regards to my 7th grade team of science teacher..I love them they have been fantastic and it makes working so much better this year!!

On November 5th we hit Mim's 5 year home date. It has been quite the ride, but most days we are good, but there are still some pretty rough days that we need to muddle through.
