Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote..

To reach the port of heaven, we m ust sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it-but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor….

 

Get involved and do something today..

God gives every brid his worm, but he does not throw it into the nest..

 

Time to get involved..in the dead of winter, seems like we drag, stay stagnant, and wait, or put down anchor..

Go out and get involved..reach out to a senior citizen..come  out to our Habitat site on Sat..go get involved with a service club..help raise support for a cause…visit a nursing home..help at a soup kitchen..build a home with habitat

 

Life is too short to drop anchor..we drop anchor at the end of our trip..not during it..at the end of our lifespan, not during it..otherwise we will get stuck in the middle of the ocean..

 

Today we have a President of a company coming by with an engineer..Jim I have to see you, I have a new design for a home..honored he will be with me..he comes by.

Then tony Guzman, whose sister was killed 12 years ago, now graduated college and he comes by for some Habitat scholarship money, thanks to the Lanza family foundation, to help as a gift for his new accounting manuals..he has been successful in light of a time he and his family could  have dropped anchor..

Then I go to Orchard street this afternoon, a street that was given for naught..and we look at new land.. there, a street that people had no vision for ..but I see one of the Greenest Streets in America in Yonkers….wait and see, we will do our Zero Energy Home there..we will work to make it happen.

 

Today sacrifice lunch and dinner with me..for Haiti..the monies for homes are piling up..

So don’t drop anchor..start Sailing…God bless each of you! Jim Killoran
