A Walk With MLK-My proudest day.
One bright morning when I was a 12 year old boy living in Sandy Springs GA, my mother June announced to my younger brother and sister and me that we weren't going to school that day. She told us to dress nice and get in the car. We only found out as we were leaving the house that we were going to march in Martin Luther King's funeral procession.
It was a short quiet drive. I don't care for crowds and I was worried that this was going to be a long hard sermon to listen to, but I knew we were doing the right thing. We had mostly grown up in the poorer parts of various southern towns and we were used to both colors of people sharing the streets, but this was an amazing feeling to be the only people of one color we saw in such a large crowd. I wasn't surprised at how warm and comfortable it felt. And I realized immediately what a good idea Momma had to come there.
The entire walk and service seem like a beautiful, if melancholy dream. Never had we felt such an outpouring of peace and goodwill through such sadness. All of us have shared our memories over the years, many times. The whole event passed like a song, but midway through my younger brother, only 8, began fidgeting, being so short he was staring at people's stomachs and bored. Then slowly and quietly, without a word, a tall strong man standing behind Steve reached down and picked him up over his head and gently placed him on his shoulders so he could see. Steve was quietly mesmerized and still says it was the most amazing experience he ever had to be lifted up over the crowd and to watch the whole panorama from his private box.
It was a small piece of heaven on earth that the reverend brought to all of us there that day. My mother and sister and brother and I all agree that was all of our proudest day. Not for anything we've done to help with King's cause, but what we did for ourselves by being there. It changed us. It was a religious experience.
When I see pictures of the good doctor and his statue on the mall, he is very real to me. He is still alive, I'm sure of it.
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if he came back one bright morning.
God bless
Hey stupid. Not raising the debt ceiling doesn't mean we can't pay our debts and interest payments. All it means is we have to prioritize and actually watch what we spend. It means the communist Obama has to at least slow down the accumulation of crushing debt he's putting our kids and grandkids under.
ReplyDeleteIn 2013 we took in 2.7 trillion in taxes. We will spend 2.3 trillion of that on entitlements. We will take the 2.3 trillion taken from working people and give it to someone else. We have to borrow to run the damn government. That's what you support? The US has become nothing but a socialist welfare state ... thanks to you comrade chip.
Stop listening to the propaganda media and leftist propaganda sites.
Ronald Reagan, patron saint of twits like "anonymous", raised the debt ceiling more times than Obama. I guess conservative voters must be communist comrades too.
ReplyDeleteReagan's last deficit was 152.6 billion.
DeleteObama deficits:
2009 - 1.4 TRILLION
2010 - 1.3 TRILLION
2011 - 1.3 TRILLION
2012 - 1.1 TRILLION
2013 - 1.0 TRILLION
There's a big difference between raising the debt ceiling to borrow 152 billion and a TRILLION damn dollars. A trillion is a thousand billion dollars. Obama's spending is simply unsustainable. All this debt is being put squarely on the backs of younger people and kids who will grow up having to face this massive debt. Either taxes will have to be raised dramatically for the middle class or the US economy will crash. It will probably crash anyway seeing as the Fed has been propping up Wall Street by printing money. Once that's over the stock market has to adjust and that means it goes down.
Get your numbers straight before you comment next time ... comrade.
