Black History and the Month of Love!! February is always an exciting month, in addition to being my birthday month (shameless plug), we also celebrate very some very significant dates. Along with the obvious, and monumental celebration of Black History month, which is now being re-branded as Black History Year, we should celebrate ourselves and our achievements more than just one month out of the year. That said, it is still a glorious time to celebrate and remember those who paved the way and came before us. In addition to Black History Month, here in America, we also like to celebrate President's day, a day honoring our late leaders, and last but, but certainly not least, Valentine's Day! Yes, I said Valentine's Day! A few years ago, MBMM published a great piece, written by yours truly, dispelling the myths of Valentine's Day being a "Pagan" holiday and how many Christians really miss out on it's meaning, which is ultimately a story about true love. So, before you jump on a bandwagon of what's good and not as far as your Christian walk is concerned, do some research first, because at the end of the day, we serve a God and Savior who are all about love, and if you are not showing that even in your closed-off Christian ways, than something has got to change. Finally, with so much in the news lately regarding our hair, please be sure to read our special piece, "Leave my hair alone!"...Happy Reading!!
