HI TO ALL..

 

OCT 31, 2007 AN IMPORTANT DAY...FOR US HERE AT HABITAT ..I AM HOPING THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT HOLY DAY..NOT JUST A HOLIDAY FOR YOU IN YOUR LIFE...YES THATS RIGHT..ASKING FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GREAT SUPPORT AT THIS TIME..

 

WALKING IN MANHATTAN I OFTEN LOOK AT HOW PEOPLE LIVE IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS..HOW THEY LIVE IN CONDOS COOPS, HOW THEY TRANSPORT THEMSELVES, WHAT STORES ARE THERE..DID YOU KNOW THAT MANY BLOCKS HJAVE GREAT INSTITUTIONS OF RELGION THERE AS WELL...AS I PRAYED FOR OUR WORK TODAY IN WHAT I CALL MY PRAYER WALKS (AND A WALK WHERE I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH MANHATTAN AND ALL ABOUT IT.) I SEE THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY...OUTSIDE TELLS A STORY OF A MAN WHO INPSIRED MILLIONS TO PRAY IN 1837..WITH A SIMPLE MEETING FOR BUSINESSES...A MEETING THAT LED TO A REVIVAL IN NY AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD...REMINDED ME OF SOMEONE LIKE MELVI JONES OF THE LIONS CLUB, WHO DEDICATED BUSINESSES LIFE IN SERVICE, OR ROTARY OR KIWANIS..WHERE THEY HAVE  A SIMPLE PRAYER BEFORE A MEETING..TODAY I MEET WITH A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES AT LUNCHTIME OVER THE REVITALIZATION OF DOWNTOWN NEW ROCHELLE...OR REVIVAL IF YOU WILL..I BELEIVE GOD NEEDS TO BLESS EVERY TOWN AND CITY IN A WAY THAT WILLHELP IT TO EXIST STRONGLY..SO EVERY DAY I WILL ASK FOR YOU TO PRAY FOR A DIFFERENT TOWN A DAY.....

 

AS  YOU CONTINUE TO WALK UP THE BLOCK TOWARDS LINCOLN CENTER YOU SEE THE JESUS CHRIST CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS...AND THEN CONTNUE ON AND THE LINCOLN CENTER SYNAGOGUE IS THERE...MANY PLACES WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIP...LEARN PRAY AND THEN GO TO WORK AND CHANGE THE WORLD IN THEIR OWN CIRCLES IN MANHATTAN..

I THEN WALKED BACK TOWARDS MY CAR...ONLY VIA WAY OF ROCKEFELLER CENTER...WHERE I STOPPED AND SAW FLAGS OF THE WORLD, AND THEN STOPPED AND SAID A PRAYER FOR NEW ORLEANS AND THE HOMES WE HAD BUILT IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER FOR KATRINA..RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN, I PRAYED FOR THE FAMILIES WHO MOVED INTO THE HOMES WE FRAMED UP THERE, AND THEN PRAYED FOR THE MANY WHO STILL NEED TO GET INTO THEIR HOMES...

 

TODAY I AM ASKING YOU TO PRAY FOR NEW ROCHELLE IF YOU PRAY, FOR US TO CREATE MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES, TO CREATE A DOWNTOWN TAHT WILL INCLUDE COOPS AND CONDOS FORTHE AVERAGE WORKING PERSON, AND TO HELP SEE OCT 31ST AS A DAY WHEN WE KICKOFF THE THANKSGIVING SEASON...A SEASON WE GIVE THANKS OF ALL FAITHS, AS I WALKED IN ANOTHER SET OF STORES..THE STORES HAD ALREADY GOTTEN THE COSTUMES OUT AND PUT IN THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS....

JOIN US IN THANKSGIVING FOR HABITAT FROM LA. TO NEW ROCHELLE FROM CAPO VERDE TO

SOUTH AFRICA, FROM THE STEPS OF ST PATRICKS TO THE WAILING WALL IN JERUSALEM...FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA..LET US REALIZE THAT WE CAN HELP EVERYONE A HOME IN THIS WORLD, SIMPLE AND DECENT, GREEN AND GREAT WTIH A FABRIC OF COMMUNITIES OF PEOPLE WHO CAN LIVE DECENTLY SUCCESSFULLY AND BLESSED.

 

LAST I WANT TO THANK THE BLESSED SACRAMENT STUDENTS WHO KICKED OFF THEIR HSTORIC CLUB MEETING YESTERDAY FIRST EVER IN NEW ROCHELLE FOR THE HABITAT CLUB THERE, AS THEY WILL BE GETTING INVOLVED WITH US, IN A BIG WAY...

 

WITH GRATITUDE, GRACIAS, GRAZIE, OBRIGADO...JIM KILLORAN
