a busy weekend, a weekend of reachout a weekend of service a weekend of faith and action, and the week continues...this monday morning i go ont he radio to talk about the housing settlement, and to me the opportunity arises for us to be able to lead with green faith filled affordable home ownership. This opportunity is one that will lead us to a county of love, integration and faith..

int he book of micah, Mary Bonner read the words of Micah over the Lardhmont Temple...Act Justly and walk humbly with our God!  this challenge to Jews,Christians and Muslims alike and all faiths has brought walls of prejudice down and walls of homes up.

 

What a great time this is for us to take an opportunity to embrace our world..embrace our future with a quilt of love, homes and diversity that we can all be proud of...

Yolanda Adams in the morning, TBN..the song goes..GOING UP YONDER, TO BE WITH OUR LORD, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I AM GOING...

we all will go there, if we have faith..every religious book, the Torah, Bible, Koran talks about being with the Lrod..the common element as well in all three books is the father Abraham..we all come from,who looked to the heavens in gratitude...the common element in action for all three is the theology of the hammer, building together in Faith...to make heaven on earth, to Go Up Yonder, after we make it right here...can we do this..i truly believe iwth Gods help....and yours we can!

 

Today we welcome Harvey School coming out to build...60 strong, no question...working on sites, building, helping, working..preparing, what a great group, three days of 60 strong volunteers working togehter.. on sites, off sites...no question..thank you to Marc Brandon and to all the students, wroking together..

 

This weekend we have Larchmont Temple..Temple Tefilia, St Johns and Paul Holy Family, St. Lukes, and many many more joining us in our Building on Faith effort...what a great effort..for all of us!

a great day on the Sound shore, and on the hudson and in Weschester.. we seem to have taken our kids and hidden them away from the water, from nature from activities outside, like our working with hands.. the computer promotes it, the tv, the gameboys etc...what about taking a walk by the waters today, what about taking a day working on the sites..learning how to build again...or paitning a picture..

 

all good, all important..all so vital about the health of our community.

 

living in New Rochelle i took a walk at Five Island Park this morning, praying, grateful realizing so few touch the water, or think about it or care about it...thinking about the Iona kids who have suffered with getting burned out of their home, thinkng about and praying about how good our God is, how much we take for granted and how we can change things..

 

Take a walk by the water, say a prayer this week, one for us, our families and for more...

Join us in this vital mission, Renew Restore, Rehab Relive your life for others today.!!!!!!

God Bless

 

ps I am at Community Church in Pouind Ridge this morning,..blessed to be there..
