Caroline and I stopped by the Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. engine bays...

Caroline and I stopped in the engine bay to reflect upon the 60 years that Jack Lippy selflessly served our community. Later in the morning the Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. conducted a memorial service at Myers Durboraw Funeral Home to celebrate the life of Mr. Lippy, who answered the final call on Dec. 4, 2016. God Bless him for his service. http://www.myersdurborawfh.com/notices/John-Lippy Dec. 10, 2016

Baltimore Sun: Gov. Larry Hogan, Annapolis leaders praise new Baltimore mayor

Baltimore Sun: Gov. Larry Hogan, Annapolis leaders praise new Baltimore mayor http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-hogan-pugh-inauguration-20161206-story.html Article by Erin Cox Wednesday, December 7, 2016

This is a great turn of events. We all benefit and move the ball forward when we set aside partisan politics and work together. Mayor Pugh is where she is today because she works hard, does her homework, is nice to people and does not play partisan politics. She has depth and integrity, knows the issues, and how to put folks together to solve problems.

I actually had expected great things from Mayor Catherine Pugh’s predecessor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. I had worked with her dad, "Pete" Rawlings, in Annapolis on a number of municipal issues and I really enjoyed working with him. Sadly, I was disappointed with SRB’s tenure in office. I sincerely hope she takes advantage of her time in the desert to reflect upon how she may come back, and serve again by building upon her strengths and addressing the lessons learn. Only time will tell.

For a great article on Mayor Rawlings-Blake, read Barry Rascovar’s story, “The Disappointing Mayoralty of Stephanie Rawlings-Blake: http://politicalmaryland.com/2016/12/05/the-disappointing-mayoralty-of-stephanie-rawlings-blake/ - KED

****************************

Meanwhile, according to Erin Cox:

"Republican Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday delivered an emphatic endorsement of Baltimore's new Democratic Mayor Catherine Pugh, praising her relentless energy and saying the pair 'have a shared purpose and share a commitment' to improve the city.

'This morning, I am incredibly hopeful about the future,' Hogan said during brief remarks at her inauguration ceremony. 'Mayor Pugh and I have a shared vision for Baltimore.' [...]

Hogan called Pugh's inauguration a 'very important day for Baltimore' and suggested her administration would better weather problems that beleaguer the city. He said they both want to eliminate disparities, raze dilapidated houses and invigorate the city's economy.

'Baltimore has endured through some difficult times,' he said. 'But it is when the challenges are greatest that effective leadership is needed the most.'

From the stage, Pugh reciprocated Hogan's promise to work together, turning from the crowd to directly address just him minutes after taking the oath of office...

The exchange, plus the bi-partisan spread of elected officials sharing a stage at the War Memorial ceremony, highlighted the incoming mayor's pragmatism and relationships cemented over two decades in public office."

2nd Sunday of Advent services at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster www.gracelc.org

2nd Sunday of Advent services at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster www.gracelc.org Dec. 4, 2016

John the Baptist's job was to prepare the way for Jesus. The gospel lesson for this Sunday comes from Matthew 3:1-12.

Christmas is about Jesus. Remember this should you get lost in the hecticness of the season and lose sight of this. Jesus is the reason for the season.

We are mindful of the raging fires in Tennessee. The devastation of the fires calls to our attention what is really important to us. If we had to flee the fire, what would we really want to take with us?

Remember Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

Found this well deserved shout out to recognize the great work of the Westminster Police

Found this well deserved shout out to recognize the great work of the Westminster Police Dept.

Every week I hear great stories about the work of the local public safety agencies; the Westminster Police, and the local Manchester, Taneytown, and Sykesville police departments, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, the Md State Police, the Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. and all the local volunteer fire departments.

We are very fortunate to work with such great men and women in Carroll County. We should not take them for granted.

Uncle Kevin and Linus, the cattle dog, are having a quiet conversation about Brown Swiss versus Jersey versus Holstein. According to Linus, "Brown Swiss and Holstein are two of the best known cattle breeds in the world. ... Holstein and Brown Swiss actually came from Europe. Originating in the Netherlands, the Holstein cow is the best cow in terms of dairy or milk production..."

It is a fascinating store that manufactures and sell woodworking products; much of which is of a patriotic, agricultural, arts and crafty, and religious theme.

The customers are predominantly Mennonite and some Amish - complete with horse and buggies outside. Another great bonus is that the clientele actually dresses appropriately to be out in public. And folks are respectful and polite. Just saying.

It is a really neat store. Almost like an art gallery... Perfect place to visit for someone who maintained his woodworking workshop and radial arm saw in the living room for fifteen years.
