thank you Jesus that it is sunday morning and the sun is shining. two things i love! i fell asleep last night in the pit of despair (a slight exaggeration) after reading about half of this book yesterday. it’s all about how we’re destroying ourselves and our planet with chemicals and additives that we have created for our “convenience.” i’m sort of on a planet kick right now. i started watching planet earth on the discovery channel at anna’s last month and i became obsessed. since we don’t have cable, i’ve been going over to peter and whitney’s to watch it since i got back. it’s so amazing! also, a gal at our church wrote a great article in our newsletter for upcoming earth day and i followed her link to the first chapter of another book which i am ready to buy and read. it looks really fascinating. taido has been talking about global warming for a while now and i think i’m finally ready to get it over with and watch an inconvenient truth, which i have put off because i’m just not sure i can look at al gore for two hours. maybe it will be my first effort to bring the chino house towards earth day, and will spark other events for us this week. last night i was ready to start purging my house of products and run to wild oats today to buy all new toiletries and cleaning items and baby food. i am trying to put the brakes on a little bit this morning, because it is dangerous to give my dad any more mocking material than he already has.
