It’s obviously that time of the year again. It’s time for bedtime curfews and early morning rising. It’s time for supplies, clothes, pep talks and so on. I just want to remind the parents of something, before the school year officially begins. First and foremost, pray! Your child/children and others at your child's/children's school, need God’s guidance and protection. We are living in very different times. Secondly, watch your mouth. Yes, you read that correctly. Be careful what you speak over...

Cedric Wilson says that he has a love for putting food on a barbecue grill that is like non other. Wilson said that he got hooked on the craft when he was in the third grade. He said that he got his passion to barbecue from his dad, Virgil and it has not left him even unto today. He said that his dad, Virgil had a recipe that he used on his meats that no one could duplicate because it had its own signature taste. Wilson’s father had a car dealership on Winnsboro Road years ago, but it was his love of barbecue and that outstanding taste that had...
Matthew 16:19 | MSG “And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven.” Beloved the CHURCH is God’s legal representative here on earth. It serves as Heaven’s Embassy. We can seek Asylum and Protection from within the CHURCH. We receive access to the Kingdom of Heaven from the CHURCH. It is “through” t...

Matthew 25:1-13 My youngest has the biggest heart ever, but she is very straight forward and does not mind at all expressing how she feels. I often wonder how I ended up seeing my grandmother in my child so much. I have many stories I could tell of my daughter, but this is one that really touched me in a profound way: My daughter and her friend wait for the bus together on school mornings. My daughter was watching for the bus, when her friend decided to go back and get something she left,...

The start of a new school year is the mark of a new beginning for a child. During this time, they get new clothes, new shoes, new school supplies, and sometimes even a new hairdo all with the premise of starting with a clean slate. This is big for a child. The transition to a new grade signifies kid growth for them. The beginning of a new school year marks transitional periods that they can actually see. Before the school year officially begins, take time to talk with kids and provide perspective on the blessing of beginning something again or...
Everyone gets tired, it’s natural and very human. However, it becomes an issue when we allow that to consume us and when we don’t rest. When I say rest, I don’t mean taking a nap for a few hours and then getting up and participating in something that made you take that nap in the first place. I say this because I do it almost every day, and I’m always drained by the end of the day. When I say rest, I mean taking an entire day to do nothing. It sounds silly, especially if you're a busy person but...
The past two years have been a stark reminder that life is short. I understand that we can all die in an instant, but COVID-19 has been such a powerful wake-up call to show that life and days are so fleeting. If I had only one week left on this earth, I would want to spend it doing the things I enjoy most. I would savor opportunities to spend time with the people I love, smiling, talking, laughing, cherishing memories, and creating new ones. I would challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone and do things I have always wanted to try....

Hello Everyone! This week, I'm going to be discussing being yourself. As a teenager, growing up you want to fit in with the crowd and be like everyone else, so people will like you. My advice to you trying to fit in is just be yourself. I know it may be difficult, because you may think you'll lose your friends, and no one will like you, but people will appreciate you more if you're yourself. If you’re not yourself, how will you know who you truly are? By being yourself, you'll find more p...

In October 2021, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg announced the name change of Facebook and the creation of Meta and the Metaverse, an extension of the social media organization into the virtual reality space online. Prior to the introduction of Meta, Zuckerberg staked a claim in VR gaming with the Oculus VR headset and gaming system perfectly paired with the Metaverse. Since its name and platform change, many have questioned if this new virtual world could be a potential detriment to people, namely children. Researchers partnering with the...

At Dazzle Dance, I begin the season by teaching the fundamentals of dance through a series of progressions. As the year progresses, the girls learn to comprehend quicker and, with deliberate practice, execute movement with precision and confidence. Some levels have challenges, and others allow a chance to catch a breath. The instructions are the same at any level - always do your best at everything you are given. If we remain committed to doing our best at each level, we will have developed mental and physical fortitude. That fortitude reminds...

Born in the 80s, I can honestly say I have had great childhood and coming-of-age experiences that spanned across significant decades. My house is musical, and I remember things like records and a record player, but the portable cassette player stood out to me most. I remember the yellow Walkman my dad wore as a symbol of pride and significance. I even remember my dad purchasing one each for my brothers and me and being bummed when I broke a button or lost my headphones. Then along came the cd player! I loved it because I thought it was so cool...
The pandemic has brought many changes in the lives of lots of people across the globe. The most significant thing that is changing is the way we work and the work that we do. The first computer in the US was created in 1946, invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania. It took up about 1,800 square feet and weighed almost 50 tons. That is the size of a large two-bedroom apartment and the weight of about eight male elephants. Now in 2021, we have cordless computers in our hands that work using a network that...
What if everybody looked the same, smelled the same, had the same jobs, walked and talked the same? What if we couldn’t look around and see anything new, exciting, or different? Could you just imagine what a dull, obtuse and uninteresting world this would be? We would miss out on the array of colors, shapes and sizes. We would capture but a very small, diminutive view- of the beauty that God has bestowed so immensely upon us. Uniqueness, variety, differences, are all essential; therefore, we sho...
One of mankind's best secrets is a Black woman. Their beauty has stretched man's imagination for centuries.

You render me with Peace, Love, Joy and Understanding. You strengthen my weak knees and uphold my weary hands. You Bestow...
Submitted By Dr. Joseph W. Capers Sr. Many Christians feel that they are not called by God because of their circumstances. Some have made wrong decisions or have been discouraged by others. They underestimate their ability and talents. Success and failure depends on the standards of measurement. We often judge ourselves and others by our inadequate yardstick. For the comparison of success or failure we must use the proper instrument for measuring. God is impressed by man's achievement that...
A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall, and as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches, straight and tall ..One day, a beam of light shine through a crevice that had opened wide. The rose bent gently towards its warmth then passed beyond to the other side... Now, you who deeply feel it's loss, be comforted - the rose blooms there - It's beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own loving care. Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above ru...
Every day, something always upsets us Whether it is something small or large, it affects our feelings and may even impact how we react the rest of the day or how we do a certain thing in our lives, leaving us with an attitude. This attitude that we have is most likely negative to something that affects us, and I want to know why. Why do we let something affect how we feel and potentially alter our life? You’re upset with your job, you may have financial issues , or even home problems but why sho...

Hello everyone! This week, I'm going to be discussing Mental Health. This topic is being discussed since most schools in the area are out for spring break. Your mental health is very important, it affects how you think, feel, and act toward others. When your mental health suffers, it makes the easiest tasks harder. My advice to you all whose mental health has been suffering due to the stress of schoolwork is to take a break. To those whose spring break is this week, just let yourself rest. In...
Matthew 5:11-12 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. We're human; so, we all err. There are times that things happen to us, and we feel combative and vengeful. We hear a lie or rumor on us, and we want to retaliate or prove ourselves. We get lied to or hurt, and we want to cause...
As you all may know, this year is coming to an end and we're at the 6 month or the halfway mark of 2022. My question to you all is, what have you done that appeals to you? What have you done that has genuinely made you happy? If it took you more than 10 seconds to answer I have a solution for you, take the remainder of this year and figure it out because it’s almost over. We're near the end and who knows what’s in store for tomorrow or the next day? Why aren't we living our lives to the ful...
This year marks the 10th year of Dazzle Dance, and I could not be more excited to present this year's showcase. This year's show is to pay homage to the ladies inspiring us to live life glamorously.

When I think back to all the incredible memories from over the years, I am well pleased with how far we have come...
When tragedy struck the Black community in Buffalo, NY on May 14, 2022 it served as a harsh reminder of the intense hatred that still exists in this country. That hatred is fueled by racism and radical hate groups who encourage attacks on Black communities. The attackers carry out their heinous attacks in places where people are most vulnerable. Before the May 14 attack at a grocery store, another attacker targeted a Bible Study group at a Black church. What makes matters worse is that most cold-blooded killers who strike minority communities...
