After an emotional viewing of the Passion of the Christ last night I was moved to write about the POWER OF THE CROSS. Easter means so much more than new clothes, candy, eggs, and easter baskets.

Really focus on everything that has been granted to you through his death, burial, and ressurection.

This morning I realized that so many people are content with average. But why? There is nothing good about being average. For some reason average is becoming the norm.

African-American women continue to demonstrate professionalism,
intelligence ,and unlimited potential as they contribute to our overall
struggle for unlimited freedom, access and opportunity in America. The sisters on Flights 5202 and 5106 (a jet owned by Atlantic Southeast Airlines) have proved that African-American women can do anything if just given a fair opportunity.
