Quote of the Day

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."

- Martin Luther King, Jr.


This is one of my favorite MLK quotes. I see tragedies like the recent shooting in Arizona and feel our nation is spiritually and morally bankrupt. It has happened slowly over time and we are still heading in the wrong direction - reaching for money, power, and global dominance when we should be striving for peace and equality within our own country. Today, the day we observe the great Dr. King’s birthday, is a great day to reach out to our fellow man with love and acceptance. What better way to honor Dr. King? In fact, let’s just act like every day is his birthday.
