That is the makings of a great article Fifty...
Guidepost material?

JJ

Fifty, and the perfect verse to go along with the Guidepost story is:

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Beautiful story. This is the kind of thing that should be on the evening news.

i loved that story...hope to read it again soon (in guidepost, reader's digest, or capper's weekly!) because it is inspiring and so very thoughtful...
ripples in a pond (or a kiddie pool )...


we live in an apt building here on base...we are surrounded by buildings undergoing renovation...additionally, the lawnwork and landscaping is done by contractors and the recycling/garbage island is centrally located (next to our building)...every single day it's fumes and noise from any or all of the above...
fortunately, germany has "sound laws" that apply from 6pm-6am as well as weekends...
no matter how noisy it gets, i know it will end every day and that a loud party can't take its place...
anything beats the touch-n-go's of harriers and f-15's at cherry point, nc...they weren't everyday but rather twice a month...no one within a 10 mile radius was in a good mood...
the front gate of the base was aptly marked "pardon our noise, it's the sound of freedom"...mothers of small children who could not get them down for naps no matter what would have gladly "freed" their toddlers into the pilot's lockerroom for a day if they thought they could've gotten away with it

I am getting very annoyed!!!
The house down the block with more than ONE FAMILY living there & going to school off my tax dollars ILLEGALLY.......is building an addition to the back of their house!
There are no permits or any construction company doing the work.
With all I went thru & dealt with LEGALLY...I am soooooooooo annoyed!!!!
Ok. Ranting done.

City inspectors, if notified will put a halt to the building and the health department might want to know about the two families in a one home dwelling. Besides ranting if you're seriously concerned and have sufficient reason there are steps that can be taken.
