From October 1, 2023, the fiscal  budget year of 2024 started and it will end September 30th 2024.
According to the U. S. Senate Committee On The Budget, 

" The fiscal year is the accounting period of the federal government. It begins on October 1 and ends on September 30 of the next calendar year. Each fiscal year is identified by the calendar year in which it ends and commonly is referred to as “FY.” For example, FY2011 began October 1, 2010, and ends September 30, 2011."


Question:  When you hear on the media or news that Congress is about to shut down the US Government, should you panic?

Answer:    No.

There is no federal budget timeline.

The US National Science Foundation gives an example of  how the  Federal Budgeting and Appropriations Process works: 

( https://new.nsf.gov/about/budget/process )

The phases of the federal budgeting and appropriations process

• July–February: Executive branch process

• March–June: Legislative process

• July–October: Congress finalizes spending levels
  
  

July–February: Executive branch process

Formation of the president's budget

The president's annual budget request is compiled by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the upcoming Fiscal Year, which begins on October 1.

Starting in July of the previous calendar year, OMB gives guidance to federal agencies about levels of funding and priorities. Agencies work within those guidelines to structure a budget proposal. OMB makes final decisions about the agencies' proposed budgets.

Submission of the president's budget to Congress

The president submits a detailed budget request to Congress on or around the first Monday in February.

March–June: Legislative process

House and Senate budgets

The House and Senate develop their own budget resolutions to set spending levels, which often deviate from each other as well as from the president's request.

These resolutions are not signed into law.

Appropriations bills

The House and Senate appropriations committees, through their 12 subcommittees, hold hearings to examine the budget requests and needs of federal spending programs.

The House and Senate then produce their own appropriations bills to fund the federal government. These bills are "marked up" (amended as needed) and approved by the appropriations committees.

July–October: Congress finalizes spending levels

Floor consideration

After approval by the appropriations committees, the bills head to the House and Senate floors where they may be further amended and eventually passed.

Most times, the bills passed by House and Senate differ in some significant ways and must be reconciled.

Final passage

Once a final bill has been negotiated between the two chambers, it must then pass the House and Senate and be signed by the president.

If Congress cannot agree on new funding levels before Oct. 1, a continuing resolution is required.

Mrs. Lilla Mae Arnold

 

 

 

November 9th 1928 - September 10th 2024

 

 

 

 by Glenn Sherrod Arnold

 

Lilla Mae Strong Arnold was born November 9, 1928, on a beautiful autumn day in Newnan, Georgia, where she attended public school. She gave her life to Christ early and attended Mount Vernon Baptist Church.

Her parents passed early, and she was primarily cared for by her maternal grandmother. By the grace of God, Mamie Parks, one of her elementary school teachers, raised Emma Elder, a classmate, and her in her home as “sisters” until she left to attend Spelman College.

After Lilla graduated from Spelman College in 1954 with a BS in Early Elementary Education, she began teaching elementary school in Newnan, Georgia. Soon afterwards, she met the love of her life, Glenn Artis Arnold, and they were married in 1958. A son and daughter blessed this union - Glenn Sherrod Arnold and Neeka Boncha Arnold.

When their children were less than five years old, the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where Glenn and Lilla both taught in the Atlanta Public School System. Lilla spent most of her career at the Dunbar Elementary School, teaching preschool through second grade. During her tenure, she developed and managed two preschool programs that served hundreds of students and involved dozens of teachers. Her students and faculty were so disciplined and effective that the school received national recognition, leading to a visit from First Lady Barbara Bush. Villa led a life of meaningful impact.

There are many students that recount their love of education because of Lilla. She also mentored along the way. Later in her career, Lilla earned her MS in Education at Georgia State University as a result of her love for learning and pedagogy.

Only her love for her grandchildren exceeded her love for education and the development of her students. She and Glenn lovingly hosted their grandchildren over many summers. Those summers were filled with much love, joy, and learning. Lilla regularly held summer school sessions with her grandchildren, helping to propel them to successful academic careers.

Lilla was an active member of her church fellowship and the Spelman College Alumni Association. She was quite proud of her support of the next generation of women scholars and leaders through her many donations to Spelman.

Lilla was devout woman who loved the Lord and his Word. She posted her favorite scriptures all around her home and could be found often in prayer on her knees at night. Although she was a person of small physical stature and woman of few words, when she spoke, she spoke with clarity and conviction. A confidently authentic woman, she walked in integrity. She felt that her word was her bond and, she always stood behind it. As a result, she lifted many of us who knew her to greater heights and achievements. Her love and compassion were communicated through service and actions. She often quietly helped those around her in need.

Lilla leaves to cherish her memories: her son Glenn Arnold (wife: Jacquie), her daughter Neeka Arnold (fiancé: Julius Alexander), her grandchildren: Paul (wife: Samantha), Angela, Bryan, and Traci Arnold and great grandchildren: Evangeline Arnold and Azariah Arnold. Tohnita Florence, former student/”adopted” daughter. Laura Evans, friend and neighbor for 60 years and Maceso Evans, god son. Faithful caregiver Gail Sims. A host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends also cherish her memory.

Apalachee High School Tragedy (09/04/2024)

 

by C. Henry Adams


C. Henry Adams Blogs would like to extend our condolences to the Families of  all who passed away:

• Teacher Richard Aspinwall 
• Teacher Christina Irimie 
• Student Mason Schermerhorn, 14 
• Student Christian Angulo, 14
  
  

Our prayers of mental , physical & spiritual healing goes out to the ( 9 ) people injured ,as well as, all Barrow County involved at the school in some form.

On Wednesday Morning,  9/04/2024 at a School called Apalachee High School located near Winder Georgia in the county of Barrow, the death of 4 people occurred with 9 other people injured.  Perhaps, this Tragedy will be forgotten by many people.  But not by the Students, Teachers, Faculty, Staff,  Parents and Families of Barrow County, Georgia.

According to National Institute of Mental Health, it is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear is a part of the body’s “fight-or-flight” response, which helps us avoid or respond to potential danger. People may experience a range of reactions after trauma, and most will recover from their symptoms over time. Those who continue to experience symptoms may be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

1) We should all realize in modern times, that surreal times of death is more frequently viewed daily through advanced telecommunications

2)  Gun violence has become a reality.

3)  Mental Illness of any kind can not be ignored or forgotten.

It is time that the United States of America developed  Mental Health Team of 1st Responders.

As telecommunications observers, we have utilized tethering technology for years.  Why all of the sudden more greed?  

' Technology in my professional opinion has the ability to connect people in multiple forms.  But, you need actual human - beings interaction to make it work in a spiritual form.  '  C. Henry Adams
