Martin Luther King (Thoughts)

On this day that the government officially remembers your birthday..(His birthday was actually January 15th) here is a sobering thought..People and I mean Black people when I say this.. are still debating the value of what you said vs. what

Malcolm X said rather than applying critical thought and synthesizing and building coalitions like the young Black Panther Deputy Chairman, Fred Hampton did.

Sadly all three of you lost your lives for seeking equity and inclusion for black folks in America in every space and human endeavor. I do remain hopeful we will eventually figure it out.

And soon too!

Should I say Happy Martin Luther King day???  Hmmmmmmmmm!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
