Letter from Birmingham Jail (April 16, 1963)

For MLK Day.

An excerpt from Letter from Birmingham Jail (April 16, 1963)

“… time is neutral.  It can be used either destructively or constructively.  I am coming to feel that the people of ill-will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will.  We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.  We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability.  It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.  Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood.  Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the social rock of human dignity.”

Happy 2010!

We rang in 2010 with our good friends, Gary & Daniel!

We had amazing fun with a Macaroni & Cheese taste off (Jeannette still likes her own best, but Josh was swayed by Gary’s supreme levels of cheese content!), Pinochle game, old school Frogger video gaming and then waking up with Mama Judi’s Overnight Coffeecake!  After all that the four of us headed out for a suburban adventure to watch Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience.  We loved it!!  It was a great way to celebrate a great 2009 and usher in 2010!  Happy New Year!  (Pictures to come when Gary gets them to us! – PICTURES HERE NOW)
