I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this MLK Day in America:

– A powerful man with multiple residences, and more money than he will be able to spend, sought ways to gather more without regard to the people his actions will hurt.

-A man, who spent the afternoon begging on a busy street corner, gave his coat to the sick fellow that lives in the tent next to his.

-A bully shoved a young woman that had been assigned male at her birth.

-An grandmother in a nursing home whispered “thank you” to a queer CNA for changing her soiled sheets.

-A frustrated young man posted on social media that everyone that voted for Trump is racist.

-A middle aged man with one of those red hats stopped on the interstate to change a tire for an African American mother and her children.

-A good looking young preacher spoke to a large gathering and used the word “they” scores of times.

-A tired pastor spoke to a handful and used the word “we” a lot.

-And, some as they looked around, and recalled the legacy of King, became more committed to not imitating the powerful, and not hiding the candle of love’s way.
