Daily I pray with our bus riders in front of our Restore..hi jim, have a blessed day..remember Julie in prayer will you Jim..

Last nite Pastor Pierre invites me, Jim..come to Brooklyn to a large thank you for all those who help Haiti….

A call, pray for Jane to get her position…without prayer we are nothing in our lives at habitat or anywhere…whether an earthquake shakes in Washington DC…or Haiti, or an earthquake inyour own personal life..know that with prayer, the tremors go away and we will recover, and God is with us…here on our sites in our families and in your heart…or perhaps it is someone asking to pray for Shannon for a right bone marrow match….

It can happen…

 

For us we have so many of all faiths helping us..Jewish Christian Muslim…Jimimy..Raheem calls me…thank you ..you blessed us with helping another family with six chairs from your Restore…

 

The Restores in themselves are opportunities for people of all backgrounds to come in shop share and shave off prices that save income and help build communities together..

So in all we do and say let us give Thanks to God..for each second, each minute in life…then get involved and HELP….THE TIME IS NOW…

Walking in the morning..i say Hola..then Cag di la..to my Czech friend..and then Sac Passe to our Haitian Friend and Bon Giorno to my Italian friend..

The diversity of our communities is the makeup of beauty for the face of New Rochelle…with that in mind realize that we have such a great place to live…Last nite I prayed with two congregations..many go together during the summer and have missions…in French and English and Creole…

Praying for Haiti, praying for here…

 

Today Thursday, we build away on our sites, the heat has slowed slightly in a heat wave and our stalworth volunteers stay with us..

Helping..moving ahead..building with us…

Born on the 4thfo July …the song goes..are you a Yankee Doodle Dandy…we are at habitat, and dandys for everyone to have a home from here to Haiti and back…

 

Daily we work hard, celebrate and volunteer on sites, meeting with families…in community meetings like last nites in Yonkers…the hollows..over a block party to be held..as welll as helping to celebrate homes being made and completed…

 

With that in mind..we move ahead.. we help we celebrate our Headquarters being purchased..one milestone for HFH of Westchester…

This building..historic, on Main street in New Rochelle has naming opportunities…rooms that can be named…placques to be put up and more opportunities for sponsorship….we celebrated the kickoff of our contract with a historic trolley ride, for the downtown, our neighbors and fun for us all…

Why a trolley, historic public transportation, affordable downtowns, and walkable cities, sounds like a Green plan of Community development in habitats eyes,…and with our headquarters here..we cant do any worse for sure, but only better in being a great blessing for the downtown as we have.

 

So make a Yankee Doodle Dandy pledge to us ..and sponsor a room, a wall..our Green resource center..and help us continue to make dreams come true..! God bless you!

The Knicks, Lebron, Stoudemire…what about the gulf, the economy, the need for jobs..what a world we live in..

Where are our priorities…for 7 people who came to our fourth of July orientation last nite, it was interesting to say the least.

They took the time out to listen to me asking them to build homes in purchase, Eastchester, Wacabuc…why, because every town and city needs affordable homes..no exclusivity..everyone to play their part..can it happen….of course it can..and in your town too…..we need to have it happen.

After the orientation, I went to my good friends at 7pm the Haitian leglise de baptiste church…where..we prayed for Haiti, for each other, in French..

Un nouveau couer de charitie..un noveau couer de justice..the chanson, song, goes

 

We are in interesting times…

Our communities become over stuffed,with density that people have asthma..that little security at times..and kids go to school at times in substandard homes..what happens..where do we go, do we keep building upon each other, or can we spread out across the county…

 

The flourishing of Justice, wholeness and health…is vital..to a community, Mark Gornick writes…vital for the success of places like Sandtown Baltimore, like Yonkers NY, like every inner city…

 

Join us in this vital mission, join us in building just communities together..like the words of Isaiah and Nehemiah challenge us

Isaiah in Ch 65 stresses the need for us to have whole cities..that we be repairers of the breach..and Nehemiah asks families in ch 11 to have a chance to have a simple decent home…to live in community, to help us rebuild..

 

Yesterday I was on a conference call with people from Lousiana, El Salvador, Texas, Georgia, the PHillipines and more..another group I help with create homes..does a worldwide call every month…helping to build homes in honor of our founder Millard Fuller..who inspired us all to think that everyone should get a simple decent home to live in..

 

I will give you a new heart and a new Spirit..in Ch 36 of Ezekial..help us create new hearts new spirits, new Green Communities.. May you help create a new community with us, help create a new spirit in yourself today, and may everyone go to bed at nite in a simple decent home.. God bless you..
