moving forward toward the dream

Our community hosted a march on Saturday to commemorate the March on Washington and today's 50th anniversary of MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.



Mrs. Willie Mae Wright grabbed my children's hands as the march began.  What a fitting gesture as we walked for peace, reconciliation, justice.  It will take the linking of arms and lives in the power and grace of Jesus Christ for such transformation.  

Thinking today about a quote that has been real helpful to me:
If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.  But if you've come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."  -Lilla Watson
