Happy holiday everybody. MLK day is a day I go to a memorial and basically sneak one last post Christmas break before the semester really kicks in. I hope everyone else has a good day too.

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day everyone.

Atrocities that we now consider unthinkable (seperate water fountains, police dogs & water hoses, lynchings and terrorism) were commonplace.
Thank you Dr. King for taking a stand and changing history. I am because you were.

IMHO, "Letter From a Birmingham Jail" is one of the most moving moral essays ever. |

I know this may surprise people who think that Republicans (which I am no longer) or Conservatives are racist by nature of their political affiliation, but Dr. King is one of my heroes. He spoke not to black people but to all people. He did not divide, he united. Oh, to be sure he greatly upset allot of bigots, but mostly he united people of all races behind the cause of equality and social justice.
a spoken word shared yesterday in our church... "Jesus said 'Love your neighbor as yourself, for this is the fulfillment of the law.' There's no qualifier that says if your neigbor looks like yourself." In honor of this day, go love your neighbor as yourself, even the ones that don't look like yourself.

I HAVE MET DR. MARTIN LUTHER THE KING!
(I had to do the Coming to America reference)
Today is a day that needs to reflected on for more than a man and a speech. |

My wife is pulling up some articles to read with my son.
Then, as is our tradition for the past few years, we'll put on "Hotter than July" and all dance to the song is Dr. King's honor.
As Stevie said, "Happy Birthday TO ya!"

Story:
I grew up in a military household. I grew up around children of all races, and considered this to be normal throughout my life. I was eight years old, when my father retired, and moved to suburban Northern New Jersey.
First day of school, I was in shock. In a grade with 93 students, only ONE was African-American. The other 92 were white. For the first time I experienced racism.
Racism, to this day, is something I do not tolerate.
/Story
Dr. King was a man among men. He had his head on straight, and worked to right the wrongs of society, with more interest in the goal than his own safety. For anyone to put his life on the line for a positive movement, I have much respect. For Dr. King, I have the utmost.
