Just two weeks into the new year, on the third Monday in January, Americans are already slotting that first vacation in the books. MLK weekend, for many, marks the first three-day weekend of the year, traditionally used for ski trips to take advantage of the dead of winter and quick jaunts within driving distance. Travel + Leisure is your resource for planning the perfect MLK weekend.
Quote by Martin Luther King Jr
I'm almost done with the long runner I showed a couple of weeks ago and have also been working on a couple of Valentine's Day projects. I haven't had the opportunity to do much sewing lately, however, Last week I put in a lot of overtime as part of the team preparing for our church's weekend MLK luncheon celebration which included a performance by our local treasures, The McFadden Brothers and a keynote address by author Clifton Anderson on Living Dr. King's dream. This morning members and staff gathered at the church to sign up for a variety of serving events in the community, including picking up trash in the inner city, serving meals at soup kitchens, playing games with kids at a children's shelter, stocking shelves at a food pantry, organizing clothing in a thrift store whose proceeds benefit charities, writing notes of encouragement and assembling snack bags for students taking assessment testing and making Valentines with seniors. We are honored that our senior pastor, Adam Hamilton, has been invited to deliver a sermon tomorrow at the National Prayer Service. DH and I visited the National Cathedral last March. I was impressed by its size and grandeur (and, of course, especially appreciated the beautifully handcrafted needlework prayer stools and stolls on display). I can't imagine what it would be like to give a sermon in such a majestic church, let alone before the president and other high ranking officials. We're all praying for him and if you wouldn't mind saying a prayer for him, too, that would be great!
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter." Even though we have came a long way from that March on Washington there is still more we have to do until Martin Luther King Jr. Dream is a reality. - - - #mlk #mlkday #blm #fist #freedom #blacklivesmatter #black #love #respect #dream #silence

As I peruse different online sites for materials to purchase and use with my first graders, I am struck by how often the same types of studies come up over and over. As teachers, we are incredibly diverse in our approach to pedagogy and practice. Any child can be taught to read, but we would...Read More »
