Today we had church on the first weekend, in the history of the United States of America, after her citizens elected an African-American to be their President.
It is historic. It is remarkable. It is worthy of note.
On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in Washington DC from the Lincoln Memorial.
On that day he dreamed of this one.
This is a portion of what he said...
"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today."
King's dream got him killed.
King's dream changed America.
Joel 2:28 - I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
I've decided my desire to add value to your lives is more important than my desire to list all comments on this post. Thanks for reading.
