Celebrate Martin Luther King Day

Tonight my buddy David Hall came over and taught me how to blog! I am so excited about it!

In light of Martin Luther King Day today, I'd like to share a few feelings about integration.

I am so grateful for the huge strides we have made to integrate our Country. I believe all men (and women) are created equal and that we are all great in the sight of God. However, despite all efforts to be equal, I know discrimination is alive and prevalent in our society.

As individuals, we must decide to love everyone, despite race, religion, or any other barriers that may seem to stand in our way. Integrating a Nation happens on a personal one-on-one level. It's a choice. And it sometimes requires us to get out of our comfort zone. It can be hard but I know that when we do make an effort to love everyone, we can have the power to see everyone as the lovely people they really are. As our brothers and sisters. As children of God.

My dream is the same as Martin Luther King's. I dream of equality.
