THOSE PESKY TINY THINGS...

THOSE PESKY TINY THINGS…

 During a recent decade, Chicagoans working in the booming downtown business district called The Loop ignored the city’s budget crisis because Washington's cutback of urban aid didn’t seem to hurt their business.  However, they learned the hard way about the considerable price of neglecting the foundations of economic growth.  Two hundred and fifty million gallons of murky Chicago River water gushed into the 60-mile network of old freight tunnels underneath The Loop and brought business to a soggy halt. 

 It was later learned that a top city official previously knew about the leak, but because the city was cash-strapped he delayed repairs which would have cost about 50,000 dollars.  The final cost of the resultant damage was in excess of one billion dollars. 

 In life, always attend to ‘smaller’ issues because, when neglected, they tend to become mighty big.

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
