Is govt too big..can we solve problems…sometimes when I go to local meetings like the village of Mamoroneck..things such as home rule and army corps of engineers work or lack thereof, seem to logjam possible solutions for local communities..not by us, we are happy to be able to see people move ahead..with our volunteer work, with our volunteer sweat equity..one of the solutions that can move things ahead..or too political. I believe this is a time that we need to change the way we operate, a time of volunteerism, and unpaid politicians..lets see what happens.. we have to fight. God bless you…

FW: 911 blog tenth anniversary

The world as we know it has changed…forever  because of 911..

May we be better and blessed in all we do.

I just come from my Muslim friend.Ahmed..salaam I say..at the local deli..can I help today he says..build with you..i say of course…

Christiain Jew Muslim, hindi, no faith..all welcome in the Theology of the Hammer, the Theology of loving one another, of working together, of changing communities, ..together and in turn our own live..dont you think God wants this..

 

We are not here to tear down but build up, not to let run down, but rise up…not to let spirits fall, but HOPE arise.


We dedicate this to our Veterans, returning and here, like Douglas Stephen Hall, who was an amputee last nite..who I met prayed with and gave support..he gratefully said, please pray for me…I told him we were building for him…are you building up or tearing down.

 

Are we building up daily in our lives or tearing down..that is the 911 question, with each other, within our homes…and  more.. we will rise, we will be Repairers of the Breach…we will see a new Jerusalem, a new Westchester a new life..may we take this clarion call this tenth anniversary of 911.. pray for us, help us support us..

http://www.habitatwc.org God bless and keep you and build you up today…..
