A BEAUTIFUL DAY, NO QUESTION...SUN IS SHINING..VOLUNTEERS ARE BUILDING ON THIS SUNDAY..IN YONKERS, NEW ROCHELLE AND MAMORONECK.

 

YONKERS...VOLUNTEERS FROM IONA COLLEGE ARE WORKING HARD ON 2 HAWTHORNE STREET WITH OUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PURSER PLACE NEIGHBORHOOD...WHERE THEY ALSO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORS...

 

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE BUILDING PERMIT FOR OUR HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD..WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR NEIGHBORS, ON PURSER PLACE...WHO MANY ARE LOW INCOME NEIGHBORS..AND HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY TO HAVE US THERE.  OUR NEIGHBOR THE LOCAL BUSINESS IN BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND OUR PROPERTY, FROM DAY ONE HAS STATED TO US, HE WANTS TO BE AGREAT NEIGHBOR AND WORK WTIH US CLOSELY, AND IS NOT SELLING HIS PROPERTY...

FROM DAY ONE WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO ARE SO HAPPY WE ARE KICKIGN OUT THE DRUG DEALERS AND USERS, HELPING TO PAINT THE PLAYGROUND AND IMPROVE THE AREA

MUCH MISINFORMATOIN HAS BEEN SPREAD ABOUT THE PROCESS, ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS AND ABOUT HABITAT, WE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DONE THIS, AND WE KNOW GOD HAS BLESSED HABITAT TO BUILD HOMES AND TO ACT IN WAYS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS....

 

IN NEW ROCHELLE OUR BRONXVILLE HIGH SCHOOLERS CONTINUED TO WORK ON OUR HOMES AND ON A BURNED OUT HOME...DOWN THE STREET AND PAINTING THE PARK ...HELPING AS WE DO IN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AT LINCOLN PARK AND ON DEWITT AND ON LINCOLN AVENUE.

IT IS AN HONOR TO HELP WORK TOCHANGE A NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE DO.

 

WE ALSO HAD OUR HEROES IN MAMORONECK, OUR POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY VOLUNTEERS FROM THE UNVIERSITY IN BROOKLYN. THESE FUTURE ENGINEERS,  MOSTLY LIVING IN BROOKLYN COME ALMOST WEEKLY. THEIR CHALLENGE AS I SAID TO THEM TODAY IS TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX, TO DESIGN GREEN BUILDINGS FOR THEIR FUTURE AND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME THAT WONT FLOOD, AND THAT WILL HELP WITH APPROPRIATE RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT

 

SO WE ARE BLESSED IN SO MANY WAYS, TO HAVE YOU READ THIS, TO HAVE SO MANY HELP US ADN TO HAVE SO MANY REALIZE A SIMPLE DECENT HOME FOR ALL IS POSSIBLE IN OUR LIFETIME.

LAST I WAS ABLE TO GO TO JOEL OSTEEN LAST NITE AT THE GARDEN IN MANHATTAN...A GREAT EXPRESSION OF FAITH BEING SPREAD ACROSS THE WORLD...HIS TESTAMENT TO THE LOVE OF GOD AND JESUS CHRIST AND HIS STRESSING THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING LIVING DAY PSALMISTS..GIVING PRAISE TO THE ONE GOD WE ALL BELEIVE IN, WHETHER WE CHRISTIAN JEW OR MUSLIM BECOMES A BLESSINGS FOR ALL WHO HEAR HIM, AND WHO PARTICIPATE WITH THAT IN MIND IN THE THEOLOGY OF THE HAMMER. WE GIVE PRAISE FOR YOU AND YOURS TODAY..JJK
