I am an earth flag trustee!

[Benjamin De Mers]

I just wanted to tell of the feeling I got in my heart as I applied to be an earth trustee. All my life I have felt as though I carried some responsibility for Mother Earth and her care. As a kid growing up on a farm in Kansas I certainly came into deep communion with the land and the rich heritage of those intimately connected with it. I guess I carried this into my adult life and until I found the earth trustee program on John McConnell's site I felt as though that calling was going to waste in me. Now that I have applied to be an earth trustee my heart swells with pride while at the same time I feel the awesome responsibility that I now have to make sure that every minute of my life from this point on is spent doing the necessary and tough things to protect Mother Earth and teach children and adults alike the awesome responsibility they each carry as citizens of this great blue marble we are all standing upon as it miraculously floats about around our star, the sun.
