Have You Got

Something to Say?

By Mickey Hunacek Have You Got Something to Say? Before you retired you were an expert at something, focusing all your energy into your job or company. Now that information is still sitting between the synapses of your brain just waiting to be used again. Maybe you have a hobby that you have accumulated lots of skill and knowledge just bursting at the seams to be shared. Blog it.

Think about your blog topic—what you want to say and a specific name for your blog before you begin. Once you choose your blog address it is set, although you can change the title name on the template. You’ll be inputting information that you want other people to read about you and your expertise. Daily, weekly, or whenever you choose, you can input stuff to communicate with others. Let the world know what you have to say via the World Wide Web. It’s out there—start blogging.

How do you get the word out that you have a blog? Let your friends and family know your new blog address by e-mail or even snail mail. Post it on your Facebook or LinkedIn social accounts.

You could even Pin it on Pinterest. Others will find you with key word searches and you’ll be amazed that you are in contact literally with people around the world. At my son’s suggestion I started blogging a daily devotional that I was writing for my family and friends and it has been read by people in 33 different countries. http://kingstablefeast.blogspot.com/ Technology may seem intimidating to you but the free blogspot. com is very user friendly and has templates all set up and ready for you to begin your blogging experience. Go to www.blogspot.com and check it out. Blogging is fun.

Vision Tri-City 2015 Union Gospel Mission

Last month we shared bit about the Tri-City Union Gospel Mission (UGM) and the good work they are doing in our community.

It would be hard to imagine the Tri-Cities area without the mission providing such a vital service. They not only provide food, shelter and basic supplies to those in need, but they also work to address the underlying causes of homelessness and poverty, helping people establish healthy patterns of living, and supporting their transition back into society and the workplace.

What we didn’t discuss in last month’s article was the conditions of the UGM building. The current men’s facility is over 100 years old. The UGM began using the facility in 1958. It was built to codes that would never be acceptable in the present day. It is also extremely overcrowded, especially during the cold winter months. Currently the UGM can only help 10% of the 30,000 people in our community who are living below the poverty line.

The leaders of the UGM, together with their board of directors, felt that it was time to embark on a campaign to raise funds to build a new facility that can better serve the needs of our growing community. They purchased land a couple blocks from the current facility, situated in the epicenter of poverty and homelessness in the Tri-Cities area, and have designed a building that will more effectively provide for the needs of both the guests and the volunteers. The new facility will add more space, rooms, beds,

and staff, and it provides room for future expansion if needed.

The citizens of the Tri-Cities have big hearts and rally around good causes. The funds needed for this project are projected to be $8.9 million which includes the cost of land, architectural design, site preparation, utilities, construction, operating equipment, furnishings, and the first 3 years of staffing increases, developed programs, and increased facility operating costs.

Roughly half of the costs of this project are slated to come from community donations, some of which has already been raised, and the other half through grants and other programs.

Many of us aren’t able to get involved with the UGM personally, but most people probably understand that the mission fulfills a critical need in our area, and would agree that expansion is in order.

The Tri-City Union Gospel Mission invites anyone interested in learning more to come and tour their facilities and learn about the work they do. You may choose to become a volunteer or donate clothing, food, supplies to provide for immediate needs which would be deeply appreciated. Or, you may choose to be part of Vision 2015, giving financially toward the goal of expanding the facilities to help minister to the lives of thousands of people for years to come.

Matthew 25: 35-36 “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
