Re: Remembering...
DBowling was around when Martin Luther nailed a copy of his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle church.
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
-Edward R Murrow

Re: Remembering...
I was 11 when this happened - and can remember we'd just pulled up in the driveway from running errands, heard it on the car radio - it was quite shocking. At the time, I really didn't know what he was all about, except that most whites either disliked him or viewed him as a rabble-rousing danger. And if our society would only take the approach King preached, whether racially or politically, we'd have a much more peaceful and harmonious society. But those that have an "us vs. them" mentality, who want to win at all costs, never desire to negotiate or facilitate understandings, and are out to demonize and destroy those they see as their enemies - well, they're ruining our world with their hatred and divisiveness!

Re: Remembering...
April 4, 1968. The day MLK was assassinated. I remember like it was yesterday. I was approximately a 1-2 week old embryo.
It was a sad day indeed.

Re: Remembering...
Thank you for reminding us.
Good for me to have read the speech and being reminded of it.

Re: Remembering...
I've watched that speech so many times and it never fails to hit me right in heart. I was about 8 when I first heard it, by that time Martin Luther King Jr was long passed. I was bored on the weekend, trying to escape cricket or some other sport on Australian TV when I came across a documentary about the civil rights movement. I remember it because of the impact it had on me.

How old do you think I really am?
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Speak for yourself, I was a mere infant at the end of the Mesozoic Era.

It's nice to hear from you Byblos. At your age, I was wondering if you might've kicked the bucket.
