Happy Mother’s Day To Our Mom…Lori Bakker

Proverbs 31:28, 29 (NIV) 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”

Dear Mom,

Years ago, God fulfilled a dream for all of us by bringing you into our lives!  You have always gone above and beyond as a mother and have never wavered for what God wanted for us. We know it has been hard for you sometimes.  You have held our hands when we were hurting, and rejoiced when we were happy. We appreciate so much how you have always strived to do your best as well as knowing when to be loving and when to be firm.   You never compromised when you knew what you felt was the right thing to do and stood strong through every struggle, always ready to share your wisdom.  When we have struggled, it has been your prayers that lifted us up and helped us move forward.  Most important of all, you have loved us, each of us…unconditionally. In so many ways you have shown us how special we are to your heart. Continue reading →

New York Mayor To Add Muslim Holidays To School Calendar

Easter has to be a “spring break” but the Mayor of New York City thinks adding Muslim holidays to the school calendar is perfectly fine.

New York Mayor Bill deBlasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina announced Wednesday that all schools will close for the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

“We are committed to having a school calendar that reflects and honors the extraordinary diversity of our students,” said Farina.

This is the same school district that is in court to prohibit Christian churches from being able to rent facilities while allowing all other groups to rent them.

“We’re here today to make good on a promise to our Muslim brothers and sisters that a holiday of supreme importance to the Muslim community will be recognized in our school calendar so that children can honor the holiday without missing school,” the mayor said.

The mayor claimed it’s about supporting families.

“Families are the fabric of our city. They’re the core of our city,” the mayor said. “All families deserve respect. Every kind of family deserves respect, and that’s what we’re noting today.”
