KING GONE @ 48 YEARS

48 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King was shot to death in Memphis. I wonder what Dr. King would make of rap music artists using the "N" word and calling their women "ho's".
Here's a news account of that terrible night.

EXCHANGE STUDENT PROGRAM WANTS YOU

Our friend Peterlyn West sent us this information on a very worthy program she is involved with. Here’s that information.
Host families for exchange students are just like you! They are busy, they can be loud sometimes, they argue sometimes, the house is messy sometimes, but when it comes down to it, what is most important is that they love each other and have room to love others. Host families aren't superhuman or special, just willing to try something new. You will forever have a son or daughter in another country. It's an experience you'll never forget! And you are making a student's dream come true! What more could you ask for?
We are looking for families JUST LIKE YOURS to host a student for one semester or the whole year for the 2016-17 school year. Students come with a variety of interests that we try to match to fit your family; dance, gymnastics, sports, band, cooking, music, horses, and many more! Message us for more information. https://www.facebook.com/cultural.homestay.pa.1/photos/a.1550159535252989.1073741828.1549767665292176/1686841918251416/?type=3#!/cultural.homestay.pa.1/?fref=nf
