Easy like Sunday morning...the song goes...a day we can rest for many or celebrate family, or go to a baby shower...Espero tu tienes a buen dia hoy, Senor ti bendiga...

so many different things to be grateful for..so much, every minue we turn our heads, God is there for our blessings...Pray for all our families to be blessed this morning, anf or those who apply for homes, the so many of them...thanks to Chuck Lesnick and Ken Jenkins for nice calls on Sat. to me...I am blessed to know great Democrats, Republicans Independants...and people who know me, know thast with us here at Habitat, it is not about the party, it is about getting it done, about getting homes, about celebrating communities...the same applies to Faith communities..i was honored to attend mass at St. Francis Xavier in the city on 126th yesterday from my first marriage, and my kids were baptized there, but also honored to speak at a Congregational Church and then pray with a Rabbi on our site in Bedford before building...always so honored to realize people respect our work so much....

Vision ...now we need our vision for the 21st centruy..vision less wide roads, vision fewer cars..vision parking lots as possible housing spaces, and people walking and exercising more..

Today on the radio it announced that America is now 42nd in health care versus 11th it was four years ago..part of it is we are obese..can you believe this...maybe sitting at computer too much, maybe watching tv too much, maybe not enough exercise...i am going out on my bike ride now and will be pushing for bike lanes in many communities and less cars..we have too...kids are told they cant walk .7 miles to a park yet that is part of the piont to get exercise...we ride our car to the gym, workout and get back in the car. instead of walking...come on folks..waht are we doing to our selves...well there is HOPE..ALWAYS.. and we can turn things around. God wants this, we want this..we can have everyone in a decent home and community

EVERYONE A HOME.. continues to be in my mind about our theme for our 20th ANNIERVERSARY CAMPAIGN..

 

last as i Pray and prepare for our 911 BUILDATHON..from sept 8th until sept 11th.. and i sat an listened at a bench opposite the trade center..where it was, the people walking the tourists..COME AND JOIN US..

on 911 THE WORLD WAS CHANGED FOR EVER, THIS 911 COMEOUT AND CHANGE THE WORLD..the sounds i heard were of a singer singing Christian tunes, or people in silence, of families crying, of families hoping, and for us all...let us build with HOPE THE FUTURE, that we can make it right with the THEOLOGY OF THE HAMMER, THE THEOLOGY OF LOVE AND WORKING TOGETEHR...GOD BLESS, JJK
