Week 3, Monday:MLK Day-thoughts and reflections:

"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exhalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." MLK

What is the true meaning of this day? Is it to honor a man, a movement, an idea, a dream, or is it something more? When we stop and think about this man and what he stood for, what he proclaimed, and what he desired, I rejoice and celebrate with this man as he desired for the glory of the Lord to be revealed. What a thought. In the midst Martin Luther King's inspiration speech, with the pressures of so many people, along with society, it is refreshing to hear such powerful words that are so passionate and full of confidence. And I wonder...what would society be like if he didn't stand up for what he believed to be true? What would our world look like if people didn't stand up for their faith in the Lord? We should desire to proclaim the name of the Lord with boldness and courage, just like Martin Luther King, Jr. And my hope is that you would always stand up for what you believe in, even if you're the only one standing!
