Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day

Early in his ministry in Montgomery, during the final difficult months of the bus boycott in 1956, King preached a sermon to encourage his congregation to live hopeful lives of creative action.

“Lord, help me to accept my tools,” he told them to pray. “However dull they are, help me to accept them. And then Lord, after I have accepted my tools, then help me to set out and do what I can do with my tools.”

To show how powerful our humble tools can be, King pointed to the example of Moses, who shed his limiting beliefs with God’s help and led his people to freedom.

We have the right tools to create the kind of change the world needs. King’s example shows us that. “There is no deficit in human resources,” he once said; “the deficit is in human will.”

Dr.King proved those words by his own example. And his extraordinary success can instruct and inspire us today if we shed the limiting beliefs that are holding us back and embrace liberating truths that can propel us forward.

Auld Lang Syne:

Auld Lang Syne:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
and never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
and days of auld lang syne? 
For auld lang syne, my dear, 
for auld lang syne, 
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, 
for auld lang syne.
