The year of the bike 2016…it is 60 degrees here in balmy new England dec 30..what..how come,

Global warming, seems to be real….ya think…lets have less cars and more bikes in 2016.

There is so few people biking all the time, and no bike lanes in Westchester, crazy..for sure..bikeability increases affordability..

No question, saving money from a car, means saving money from gas, pollution, insurance, tickets, and more..

Get on a bike this year…I am pushing for a number of initiatives that should help us change a number of areas.

Join us in advocating for neighborhoods again, for lives, for affordable homes, for seniors not to be stopped from living here,

For an intergenerational ny and for a non corrupt new york…its time.

The Christmas week is here, its what we live for, faith in action..helping to bring stability and love and hope to our families, assisting fire and sandy victims still, and having the joy of His life in our hearts….The Earth is the Lords and all that is within, we work to help our veterans have homes and jobs, to help neighbohoods revitalized, to help work in building bridges cross ethnic racial and religious lines..for years our Martin Luther King buildathon has led the way about doing service kicking off the year…(our 15^th annual) 

For years our theology of the hammer efforts to change and to enhance our neighbors lives has us helping so many in cross communities. We are so blessed.

Now we build in Chappaqua too, we move ahead, we help to start to see our work in a way that will help begin our building in this great town…and we wlll move to Millwood following that.  The earth is the Lords and all that is within…The crisis of affordable housing in NY is causing people to live in droves..to lands where they can afford and not have to pay the highest taxes…and see politicians go to jail…its time we pray over this great state, over this great county over every town and city…and act with a hammer and with love, to  rebuild NY with the theology of the hammer…with habititis, with the Hannukkah and Christmas spirit, the Sai spirit the spirit of America…wont you join us?

Last nite visiting my homeless friend, on Main St in NewRochelle, it was cold…hot beef stew, I brought and his kindness to me, of thanks made me selfishly feel great. Homeless in Westchester come on, they are only down in the Bronx in potts, or in nyc right?  When coming to NY and moving here, everyone says, we go help NYC, we go here there, we also go to Tennessee and Nicacaragua..but they wont come to Main st, they wont come to Mt Vernon, they wont reachout locally.. Part of it is our religious institutions often just  leading people to write a check for an agency that says they help, but don’t reach out directly, Leadership of our faith community needs to know what the needs are on their street, in their community, within two miles and more…many don’t, many drive in and out, and we have many silos, political silos, faith silos, govt silos, not for profit silos, its time to make it real..

Lets go…the ultimate manger story in Westchester is that many don’t have homes and many do. Its time to help right here..

Its time to change this. Bendiciones
