What does a good neighborhood mean to you?

Posted on Jan 19th, 2008 by Veritas : the truth only the truth Veritas
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 19, 2008:

A good neighborhood is a very desirable thing!
 
If you don't visit the bad neighborhoods, the bad neighborhoods are going to visit you.
Thomas Friedman
 
         
 

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A
NICE NEIGHBORHOOD &
A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD:

 
   
NICE NEIGHBORHOOD:
Every block has
nice cars
BAD NEIGHBORHOOD:
Every nice car is
up on blocks
   
 
NICE NEIGHBORHOOD:
Kids set up
lemonade stands
BAD NEIGHBORHOOD:
Kids set up
ammo stands
   
 
NICE NEIGHBORHOOD:
If you dial 911,
the police say,
“We’ll be right there.”
BAD NEIGHBORHOOD:
If you dial 911,
the police say,
“What—you again?”

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good;
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood.
It's alright—sometimes that's what it takes . . .
You're only human—you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.

Look out for my love—
It's in your neighborhood.
I know things are gonna change,
But I can't say bad or good.

We're known around the neighborhood . . .
Yeah, we got a real reputation—
The bad guys all respect us 'cause we're family.

from "Walking With The Kid" by Huey Lewis and The News
. . . from the album Sports / Small World (2 LPs on one CD)

……..no matter big city or a small town,
…..good neighborhood or a ”bad”one,
search the hearts of people…
…….. look for the devine..,
…. pray for ”the spirit”and tell everyone,
…… about The Book of Mormon,
…tell them that He’s The One,
……tell ..the good news about Jesus,
that He’s The Only true God,
…give praise for him,
…..sing,
..you will never be lost,
…..thats what matters most,
….lets be friends,
…when you see me ”holla”,
..be cool,
……the rest shell fallow.

p.s.I’ve been ”getting money in all kinds of diferent places.I’ve been working out in many different gyms.I can’t say one is better than another.The actual workout is more important.God is in charge of my body.He knows whats best for me.I have to free myself completely.Nothing will stop me.Things are never not what they seem.Getting the job(thats what counts)My mission in life is to prepare for the job.Namaste.
