What a day in American history... regardless of our political opinions, it is great to see the culmination of the Civil Rights Movement.
I'm not a big fan of celebrating people's birthdays nationally, but I watched MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech yesterday and I was struck by the phrase: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Realizing that he gave his life so that my girls could live that dream couldn't help but remind me of the sacrifice of my Savior--and I appreciate anything that points me back to Jesus.
I'm so proud of the way our nation has overcome injustice peaceably... but we're not done yet.
