"Nothing can make our life, or the lives of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness."
- Leo Tolstoy -
Today we are remembering Martin Luther King Jr.
(Jan. 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968)
"Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Christian minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968." (Wikipedia)
"Martin Luther King dreamt that all inhabitants of the United States would be judged by their personal qualities and not by the color of their skin. In April 1968 he was [killed] by a white racist. Four years earlier, he had received the [Nobel] Peace Prize for his nonviolent campaign against racism.

Walk in Faith - Quote of the Day (Romans 8:5)
"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."
The passing of a dear one often leaves us wondering "Why, God, why?" If we knew that death is the beginning of a new mystery, a new adventure to unfold, we would feel joy for those who leave this earth and joy for those yet to leave. That simply isn't human nature. Help me understand that what may appear to be "goodbye" is really only an "until we meet again." Amen.
