I am taking a moment today to appreciate Martin Luther King, Jr. Virginia also celebrates Lee/Jackson day on Friday, and while I appreciate the day off from work, I think it's crap that they tacked that onto the same holiday weekend that honors MLK. I like to remember him because of the strength that he showed and the difference that he made in so many people's lives. He was no chicken. I know that the only person we should aspire to be like is Jesus, but I think MLK sure set a good example. He reminds us to take that first step in faith. I love the following quote, showing his practical side...
"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."
