This Sunday we
celebrate one of
the
most important holidays in the year –
Mothers Day. It is said, that it takes a mother 21
years to make a man out of her little boy. But it only
takes the right woman to make a boy out of her full-grown
man.
Just because a woman has a baby does not make her a mother.
There is so much to learn about being a good mother. And it
just doesn’t happen. A woman has to work at being a good
mother; it’s an enormous job. Some might agree it’s
the
hardest job on the planet. No one understands it better
than God.

In the last 30 days
there have
been to my understanding at
least 7 incidents of mass shootings. From the man in
California who lost his job and found out his wife lost her
job on the same day. They decided as a couple to kill their
5 children, and his wife, then himself. Then the man down
south who lost his job and killed his parents, grandparents,
grandparents neighbors, then just drove down the street
shooting strangers.

The Need For Unconditional Love |
As
we move into the heart of spring, we are
seeing more and
more rabbits. That brings back memories of playing with my
son’s pet bunny rabbit. The week of April 17, 2002 is a
very sad week in our house. A loved one passed away. He
was close to a year old. He was both black and white and
had a bunny tail. He was my four-year-old son’s bunny
rabbit. I never dreamed how much love you can give a pet,
or how much love one of God’s creatures can give you.

February is Black History Month |
|
February is Black History Month. It is a time when we recognize the accomplishments of African- Americans. Black History Month started as Negro History Week. Dr. Carter B.Woodson in 1926 began to ask people to celebrate the accomplishments of his people. The purpose was to give allraces the knowledge of the importance of us all, no matter what your color. The truth is we all need each other. He chose the second week of February because it was the birthday of Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglas(1817-1895) was a freedom fighter of his day. Born a slave he escaped to freedom and started his own newspaper, The North Star. |

This month is the annual Martin Luther King Holiday. The Spirit of this year’s holiday is difference than all the other years of its celebration. I believe it is because of the meteoric rise of the 1st black or African –American president. |

George Mason’s life centered in his business. He livedalone, and on this Christmas refused all invitations. OnChristmas Eve, after his employees had left, he went intothe office vault to get a little extra cash. Soundlessly,on newly oiled hinges, the great door swung shut behind him.Sudden darkness and the final click of the automatic locksstartled him into panic. |
