Martyr's Day
Because I won't be in town on Monday, I want to give recognition to Martyr's Day that is coming up Monday March 5, 2007. I am not sure of the real reason why this holiday exists. Perhaps it is to remember all the Christian missionaries who were martyred here in Malawi for their faith. If that is the case, something to reflect on. On the other hand, others might view it as a day to celebrate the day when all the Christian missionaries were killed in Malawi. If that is the case...YIKES!
Either way, Monday is a national holiday, so there will be no work, and thus, I will be chilling at the lake.
