Many people in this country will have Monday as a holiday to honor the memory of the Rev'd Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Some will spend it without a moment of thought to the man or his mission.
If you do nothing else today to remember Dr. King, take the next three minutes to listen to what Dr. King had to say about War and offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the life, the brilliance, the witness of the life of this man of God.
He said, "Justice is indivisible. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. "
Pray God send us another voice of one crying in the wilderness, that we may one day study war no more.
"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner
Come in! Come in!
"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a Hope-er, a Pray-er, a Magic Bean buyer; if you're a pretender, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -- Shel Silverstein
