Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights begins!

Image credit: messianicsabbath.com 

Today, we not only observe the second Sunday of Advent, but Hanukkah (Chanukah) begins at sunset today, December 6, 2015. This Jewish holiday, known as the Festival of Lights ends December 14. Hanukkah commemorates the victory of a small army of ancient Jews who retook Jerusalem from the Syrian Greek army. The miracle of this holiday is that there was only enough oil to keep the menorah (candelabra) in the Holy Temple lit for one day, however it lasted for eight full days.

The 8 candles in the menorah represent the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. The ninth candle is called the shamash or “attendant, helper or servant” candle and is used to light the other candles. Eating special foods, playing dreidel, singing songs or exchanging gifts after lighting the menorah are unique to Hanukkah.

May joy, love and peace fill your Hanukkah celebration and all the days that follow.

Happy Hanukkah!

Pray for Paris

Over the weekend we read about some heinous and vicious attacks that occurred around the world and affected so many innocent people. Each time I hear about such horrific acts of violence, whether home or abroad, it never ceases to make me ask or understand why. Please join me in praying for the people of Paris, France and for the victims who succumbed to these horrendous terrorist attacks.

Today is National Candy Day

What is your favorite candy? There are thousands of different types of candy and we have been consuming these sweet confections for thousands of years. Today we celebrate National Candy Day and oh how sweet it is!

Whether it is hard, brittle or soft, candy is characterized by using sugar as a principal ingredient. According to Wikipedia:

Candies can be classified into noncrystalline and crystalline types. Noncrystalline candies are homogeneous and may be chewy or hard; they include hard candies, caramels, toffees, and nougats. Crystalline candies incorporate small crystals in their structure, are creamy that melt in the mouth or are easily chewed; they include fondant and fudge.

Believe it or not, candy was often considered a form of medicine to calm the digestive system or used for a sore throat, before the Industrial Revolution. Honey was the principal ingredient before sugar was readily available. This delicious treat is made by dissolving sugar in water or milk to form a syrup, until it starts to caramelize.

The invention of the candy press, also known as a toy machine in 1847 made it possible to produce a variety of shapes and sizes of candy at once. A few years later revolving steam pans were used to boil sugar. Whatever your choice of candy is, why not savor these sweet treats today as we celebrate National Candy Day!

Happy Halloween

Happy National Trail Mix Day

On August 31, we celebrate National Trail Mix Day. According to Wikipedia, Trail mix is a type of snack mix, specifically a combination of dried fruit, nuts, and sometimes chocolate, developed as a food to be taken along on hikes. Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes, because it is lightweight, easy to store, and nutritious, providing a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit or granola, and sustained energy from fats in nuts.

The combination of nuts, raisins and chocolate as a trail snack dates at least to the 1910s, when outdoorsman Horace Kephart recommended it in his popular camping guide. The word gorp, a term for trail mix often used by hikers, is typically said to be an acronym for "good old raisins and peanuts" or its common ingredients "granola, oats, raisins, peanuts." The Oxford English Dictionary cites a 1913 reference to the verb gorp, meaning "to eat greedily".

Common ingredients in trail mix may include:

• Nuts, such as almonds
• Legumes, such as peanuts or baked soybeans.
• Dried fruits such as cranberries, raisins, apricots, apples, or candied orange peel      
• Chocolate: chips, chunks, or M&M's
• Breakfast cereals, such as Granola
• Pretzels
• Seeds, such as pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, cashews, or sunflower seeds
• Carob chips
• Banana chips
• Shredded coconut
• Ginger (crystallized)

Happy National Trail Mix Day!

Go Greyhound Bus!

Image Credit: http://greyhoundhistory.com/

When was the last time you took a bus ride to travel across the Americas? How many of you traveled by commercial motorcoach services like Greyhound or Trailways bus systems? While driving down the interstate last week, we rode past a Greyhound bus, and a flood of memories came back as I reminisced about riding the bus home during my freshman and sophomore years in college.

According to Wikipedia, Greyhound Lines, Inc., usually shortened to Greyhound, is an intercity bus common carrier serving over 3,800 destinations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The company's first route began in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1914, and the company adopted the name The Greyhound Corporation in 1929. Since October 2007, Greyhound has been a subsidiary of Scottish transportation company FirstGroup, but continues to be based in Dallas, Texas, where it has been headquartered since 1987. Greyhound and sister companies in FirstGroup America are the largest motorcoach operators in the US and Canada.

Along with its flagship Greyhound brand, the company also jointly operates BoltBus, the NeOn bus service and YO! Bus with other carriers. In the late 1990s, Greyhound Lines acquired two more members of the National Trailways Bus System. The company purchased Carolina Trailways in 1997, followed by the intercity operations of Southeastern Trailways in 1998. Following the acquisitions, most of the remaining members of the Trailways System began interlining cooperatively with Greyhound, discontinued their scheduled route services, diversified into charters and tours, or went out of business altogether.

On September 3, 1997, Burlington, Ontario-based transportation conglomerate Laidlaw Inc. announced it would buy Greyhound Canada Transportation ULC (Greyhound's Canadian operations) for $72 million (USD). Greyhound operates 123 routes serving over 3,800 destinations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Greyhound's scheduled services compete with the private automobile, low-cost airlines, Amtrak, and other intercity coach companies.

And as the old slogan that started in 1956 goes, "Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us!"

August is Happiness Happens Month

Happy Birthday Ida B. Wells

Image Credit: www.biography.com

Today we celebrate 153 years of Ida B. Wells.

Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (July 16, 1862 – March 25, 1931), more commonly known as Ida B. Wells, was an American journalist, newspaper editor, suffragist, sociologist, Georgist, and an early leader in the Civil Rights Movement. She was born a slave in Holly Springs, Mississippi to James Wells and Elizabeth "Izzy Bell" Warrenton. This occurred just before President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. While visiting her grandmother in the Mississippi Valley in 1878, Ida, then aged 16, received word that Holly Springs had suffered a yellow fever epidemic. Both her parents and her 10-month-old brother, Stanley, died in that event, leaving her and her five siblings orphaned.

Wells kept track of her life through diaries. She documented lynching in the United States, showing that it was often used as a way to control or punish blacks who competed with whites, rather than being based on criminal acts by blacks, as was usually claimed by white mobs. She was active in women's rights and the women's suffrage movement, establishing several notable women's organizations. Wells was a skilled and persuasive rhetorician and traveled internationally on lecture tours.

In 1895, Wells married Ferdinand Barnett. She was one of the first married American women to keep her own last name as well as taking her husband's. The couple had four children: Charles, Herman, Ida, and Alfreda. Throughout her life, Wells was militant in her demands for equality and justice for African-Americans and insisted that the African-American community win justice through its own efforts. Since her death, interest in her life and legacy has grown. She died at the age of 68 in Chicago, Illinois on March 25, 1931. 

God Bless America, Happy Independence Day

It all began on July 4, 1776. If you never heard the original rendition of the song God Bless America, please check out this original first broadcast radio performance of God Bless America, by Irving Berlin as introduced by Kate Smith on November 10, 1938.

My Charlestonian Reflection on the Weapons of Hate

When a traumatizing life-changing event occurs, somehow we try to find a way that best expresses our emotion about that event. Some of us talk it out with friends, family members, counselors or put it in writing. The one thing I think suffocates us, is if we try to hold those emotions in too long and do not express them, even in its subtlest state.

Now that the shock and disbelief about the Mother Emanuel AME Church massacre that occurred in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina has painfully settled in, it remains a vivid reminder of the horrifying aftermath this type of terroristic pain once again inflicted on innocent people. When I listened to all of the church bells toll at the same time on Sunday morning, it reminded me of the verses included in our national song “My Country, Tis of Thee.” This is one of the songs we used to sing growing up when I was in elementary school and a song that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. used a portion of as a refrain near the end of his famous I Have a Dream speech: “Let Freedom Ring!” My Country, Tis of Thee was originally written by Samuel Francis Smith in 1831. Additional verses were later added by various people like Henry van Dyke and abolitionist verses by A. G. Duncan in 1843. If you never read or sang these verses, please be sure to check them out.

People are anxious, angry and aggravated. We have the right to be angry when this type of violence happens to innocent individuals, whether it is in a church (Mother Emanuel AME or the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing), schools (Sandy Hook Elementary or Columbine High Schools), a theater (Century 16 theaters in Aurora, Colorado), college campuses (Virginia Tech Shooting or SC State/Claflin College Orangeburg Massacre), restaurants (San Ysidro McDonald's massacre or Luby's mass shooting), a military base (Ft. Hood massacre) or innocent victims from a drive by shooting. Anger is a very normal and realistic emotion. Anger however, is not an easy thing to set aside, and to let bygones to be bygones. Sadly for many individuals, forgiveness is easier “said” than done. Healthy anger gives you the opportunity to express just how frustrated and hurt you are about the systemic evil and social perils that lurks among us, without allowing it to destroy our spirit, as long as we do not allow that anger to linger too long. 

I am not ignorant to the fact that we are not immune from the ugly horrors of evil, hatred, injustice, deception, downright nastiness and blatant abuse. No matter where we live, how much money we have, your educational achievements, accolades or how clever we may be, such attacks did not just pop up. It occurs daily and has been throughout history in some very familiar places and institutions all around us. I am also very much aware of the fact that more individuals than we can imagine champion division, destruction and hatred. Time and time again the ugly face of evil rises to let us know that it is a very real entity in our lives, and refuses to leave voluntarily. Attacks on churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship are nothing new. Yet, somehow we can’t personally get a grip on the horrific impact and magnitude this type of devastation brings to our spirit and way of life, until it hits home. 

It amazes me how I listen to some sound bites and read reports of comments made by seemingly intelligent individuals in powerful positions, who try to discount the events that occurred in Charleston, by making light of the situation. I don’t think they actually “thought” before they spoke. They are allowing their high-level ignorance to show, because if you have never been affected by something so heinous as a mass murder, regardless of location, where your mother, father, spouse or child were among the victims, you cannot and should not compel yourself to discount or make light of such a diabolical tragedy. On the other hand, there are those who seem to think their silence and doing nothing to rock the boat are admirable attributes. I’m still shaking my head on that type of cowardice. I am by no means advocating for retaliation, rioting or unrest, because that only makes us lower our standards below theirs and creates greater havoc. Yet, if there is a clear case of self-defense, then I can understand how you have to slip into the survival mode of protection.

We can have a dialogue about this type of diabolical entity all day long, but unless we actually do something about it, instead of curtailing around the critical issues, then that act alone is like saying the lives of those who perished by the bullet is in vain. I am still troubled by the fact that such violent attacks are becoming all too familiar in our country. While I am an optimist, I am also a realist. We want our world to be nice and perfect, all wrapped up in a pretty package. Since Biblical times, anarchy has existed in society, but what we witness in our day and time is like evil on steroids and it will hit time and time again to wreak greater havoc and sorrow. I wonder what our global enemies think about how divided we are as a nation over ludicrous issues, inequality, injustices and racism that continues only 51 years after the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? I can imagine them saying “Divided they stand, the easier they fall. Let them continue to fight amongst themselves and kill each other. They are only making it easier for us to destroy them all.” Sometimes our focus can be on the idiosyncrasies of ignorance and wayward activities for so long, that nothing productive gets done when and as it should. That however, is another story.

While I do not discount the fact that we have made some remarkable strides in our communities and country on various economic, racial, social and gender levels, we still have a long way to go in order to reach the echelon of change we truly need to be. The missing component in all of this is love. When I reflect on Dionne Warwick’s classic hit from 1967, What the World Needs Now Is Love, that song is one of many containing a diehard message I wish more people would embrace.

We are affected by the aftershocks, setbacks and aftermaths of the good, bad and ugly, whether we like it or not. Evil is a factor of life that is going to exist and bounce from spirit to spirit to all who will welcome it. We are going to have to pierce these negative and sinister threats in the heart, so they will die and we can live. We are going to have to stop repeating the same types of  mistakes and atrocities of the past that continue to cripple us more and more. We must refuse to perish as fools, never learning, while sabotaging our future. As I hold on to my faith and trust in God, even if I don’t understand the course of all things, I still remain optimistic and hopeful. Although the hurt remains, the healing continues in my hometown of Charleston. Knowing we won’t forget, we shall persevere and rise above the weapons of hate.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all fathers, extended fathers, adopted fathers and mothers who assumed the paternal parental role. 

Although my father went to be with The LORD two years ago, he is not here to hear what I would probably have to say, because I already said it to him before he left. It is in my heart that he is having not only a fabulous Father's Day with our Father in Heaven, but everyday is a blessed one for him and my mother.

So with that said, I am wishing the fathers who step up to the plate every single day to be the Godly examples of what fatherhood means to your children and the children of others who are watching what you do and say, an awesome, blessed and amazing day of celebration.

Happy Father's Day!

Breathe Easy, Your Lungs Will Thank You!

Sometimes many of us never think about the act of breathing or how critical our air quality affects our health and well-being. All too often we take breathing for granted, but for those having a lung disease or suffering from severe allergies, breathing can become a laborious task.

This month we are celebrating two important awareness campaigns, to bring more attention to clean air, along with asthma and allergies.

Each year during the month of May, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) declared the month as "National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month." It's a peak season for asthma and allergy sufferers, and a perfect time to educate your family, friends and others about these diseases. Asthma affects approximately 25.9 million Americans and more than 50 million Americans suffer from all types of allergies. Check out the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and find out how you can learn the different ways to bring awareness to these common diseases.

This month is also Clean Air Month. This is a time to celebrate the impact the Clean Air Act has had on our overall health and the way we think about protecting the environment. Many events will be held in communities across the country to promote greater awareness about clean air and what we can do to breathe easier.

Join the force for lung health and clean air, indoors and outside. Believe me, you can't imagine what a blessed gift it is, to simply be able to breathe on your own. Your mind, lungs and spirit will thank you!

Wear Purple and Support Epilepsy Awareness Today!

Today we celebrate Purple Day to increase awareness about epilepsy around the world. This grassroots effort is celebrated each year on March 26, and people around the world are invited to wear purple in support of epilepsy awareness.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions, associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Cassidy Megan, who was motivated by her own struggles with epilepsy, created Purple Day in 2008. The Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia came on board in 2008 to help develop Cassidy's Purple Day idea. In 2009, the New York-based Anita Kaufmann Foundation and Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia teamed up to launch Purple Day internationally. Both organizations are committed to partnering with individuals and organizations around the world to promote epilepsy awareness.

Show your support for epilepsy awareness and wear your purple today! For more information about Purple Day, click here to see how you can get involved.

Kicking Off Lent with Ash Wednesday

Image Credit: discoveringfaith.com

Today is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Ash Wednesday ceremonies entail marking the forehead with ashes as a visible cross. Lent originated as mirroring Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert where he endured temptation by Satan. Lent occurs 46 days, in which 40 days are fasting days. The 6 Sundays in Lent are excluded and set as a feast day in which fasting is not appropriate.

As I was reading my morning Bible lesson and Discipline (Isaiah 58:1-12) this morning, which talks about fasting that pleases God, Lent is an invitation to the observance of a holy Lent. This is not fasting, just to be fasting, but by reading and meditating on God’s Holy Word through self-examination and repentance, by prayer fasting and self-denial. Fasting occurs in many forms, but it is the choice to abstain from whatever may get in the way of our relationship with God, whether it is food, habit or attitude. Although fasting is typically associated with the abstention from food for a certain period of time, fasting is an offering to God for us to overcome being and doing what we please and do what God wants us to do. This requires doing justice, loving kindness and walking humbly with God. We must avoid being hypocrites by going through the motion and ritual of fasting, and not changing our attitudes to walk in justice, as we fast and pray.

So whatever it is that you choose to give up for Lent, whether it is fasting or a habit that disconnects us from God, do it with a humble and unselfish heart. Do it so that it is pleasing to God and not for the sake of man.

16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

- Matthew 6:16-18 (NIV)
