In one sense it does not really matter what opinion others may have of you, but in another it can bring insight into our character.

Like it or not, our life produces a trail; and along the way, the encounters, the perceptions, and the knowledge that others have of us through their experiences with us, form their opinion of us.
This trail is what we would call our reputation. Some are good, some are bad, and some are misrepresented; but make no mistake, our interactions with them and others is the basis for their opinion.

I often tell people that I am working on my second reputation. My first one (before being born-again) was not very pleasing. I lived a life of selfishness that produced very little good or worth to society, and in return it did not produce kind thoughts of me as a person. This is not to say that today everyone has an 8x10 color glossy photo of me hanging over their mantle (unless they throw darts); but is to say that there are many who are now pleased with my life and tell others of me in a kind way. This change for me, was directly tied to the free gift of grace from Jesus Christ.

As requested I'm starting this thread to get some feedback from our bloggers on this matter.

D writes;
I am not sure if this is where I need to ask a question of Portland but it seems a good enough place to start. I have a deep concern for the hungry in Portland and my question would be "Would a kitchen that served a free meal to those of need be welcome here in Portland?" Would local churches and businesses be of help?

thank you - D.

This blogger cared enough to ask and obviously cares about our community and individuals in Portland that may be experiencing difficult times. Although many of us are blessed with hot meals every day, I'm sure there are some that aren't as fortunate. What are your thoughts?

"George A Greene Memorial"

Today is the anniversary of my Dad's home going. I know where he is and he is in such a better place right now And I know he is dancing with my Jesus.

Mr Charles Myers told me this would be OK. So, I am asking you for help. I'm not good asking for help. I trust God to take care of everything, but I feel HE is telling me to do this. I hope I'm right. = )

I felt this needed it's own post, Thank You - Jessica for the information

I am hoping that it is okay that I post this here, I know its not in Portland, but I hope that it is a cause that our town is interested in, as I know it is a very important issue to me..

Do you have a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker who would benefit from learning about autism resources available in Tennessee?

Then.....

Come to the Autism Resource Fair
held in conjunction with the
5K Run/Walk Beyond the Limits for Autism
at Memorial Park in Hendersonville on April 19th!

After seeing the report on TV last evening about the 12 Y.O. Sumner County girl that met her rapist on MY Space, I thought this would be a good time to bring up this topic on the blog.

What are your experiences with MY Space?
Should there be better security measures that not allow under age members?
What do you do in monitoring under age computer users in your household?

The stories that come out about My Space are horrific, yet some good has come as well, what, and who should be responsible for policing this site if any? Lets hear your thoughts, experiences and suggestions.

Is our City saying Don't Ask Don't Tell

This months council meeting included discussions on moving public works to a rented building across the street from city hall which resulted in the issue of the Kerley building (old Farmers Bank Building) on Main Street being brought up. And the fact that the city owns it with 8,000 sq feet of space and it isn't being utilized much by the city.

The issue of that buildings condition quickly became the topic of conversation with the possibility of mold, aspestos, etc, etc being addressed once again and they didn't want employees working in that building not knowing the degree of health issues that could arise.

My concern is not with this being brought up, but the outcome of where it ended.

As reported by local media, the possiblities of casino gambling at Kentucky Downs is growing closer.
A link to the story by the Herald-Leader is provided within.
News4 also did a segment on this last evening.

If this should be passed what affect, if any, do you think it will have on our area?
