Gotta Watch Those Bad Habits

Coming up on two years of retirement. I must say that life has not gotten any simpler,  However,  I have had the opportunity to redirect..   workday time, that is 60 hours of commute and workday to personal community service

One carry over bad habit involves procrastinate, that is an inbox containing complex issues.  It was beginning to grate on my nerves.  So Monday I eyed that ugly stack of "to do's" sorted, alphabetized them,  Than came developing WORK PLAN. 

What I have learned is this,  stall cannot say no to volunteer'  HOWEVER THE BRAKES ARE ON AFTFG SEEING POOR QUALITY WORK PRODUCT.  THAT  IS CHANGING;
SO BEAR WITH ME,

Metro Budget - Another Perspective

Today's CJ editorial begin with "Things are looking up ..." .  Well and good and I commend the Mayor for the document.   However each of us need to be reminded to look down, that is at the wreckage created by the great recession of 2008.  To the first timers who experienced loss of everything including homes.  To the countless thousands of homeless,  To the families that live two and three deep to keep a roof over their heads.  To the elementary school child that comes to school with a candy bar for breakfast.  To the Moms and Dads who seldom see their children due to need to work 70-80 hours per week just to meet basic expenses.

The Old Testament says it very simply:

Leviticus 25:35

³⁵ “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you.

 

Certainly care for the needy includes state and federal obligations.  However answering the cries of the heart is a community wide effort and Louisville has the tools to address it.

Friday Wrap-up

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Whether Bell or Keller said it first, it is useful.  It's Friday afternoon and I have a half dozen or so projects at various stages, the latest being the Centennial Chautauqua Celebration and with the continual development of Parkinson's I am spending more time at he computer.  Working TO DEVELOP the children's portion of the program and a 1 minute promo video.  It came together and I thank GOD each day for the chance to serve..  NEVER GIVE UP

In the Shadow of the Twin Spires

Friday Reflection -
As a child living within a few yards from Churchill, Derby time came to be part of the routine of every day living. Sure the house we lived in is long gone and so are many of the shops, stores and restaurants (A&P, Earls Barbershop, Downs Cafe and Cozy theate)r. However the bugler call to the race at Derby time lives on. A special thanks and welcome to all the race fans that have helped this City and CD continue to shine on our Kentucky home.
