The Message: Martin Luther King Jr.

Hi all

I have talked a great deal about various things; the trials of parenthood, music, pc stuff.  etc.  I have not talked about how I feel about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I never had the opportunity to hear him speak in person, for I was born in the year that he was assassinated.  I have only listened to some of his speeches. 

I cry sometimes when I hear this one;  why?  I am not sure.  It's beautiful.  As the camera panned across the scene in Washington, I saw a great multitude of people of every race, looking for hope and hearing the  message.  Dr. King was a man who had a message and someone who realized that the message is more important than the messenger. 

I will work today; but I will work with people from different races and different opinions today. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are a team in this world and we must work together, no matter hard it may be. We must work together to achieve an end that is greater than ourselves.  One day, the Lord in Heaven will look on us and say "well done, good and faithful servant!"
