I have a Dream...

Gage is the most PC of all of us. If you use any reference to the black culture other than African-American, you will be corrected. Not sure where this comes form except down deep inside. It is Something to behold. He recited this part of MLK's speech to us the other night on the way to church. Keaton had never heard it and was a bit envious I think. After I had Gage recite it again today, I had bookmarked that part of MLK's speech for him to see. That is was real and he got to see the sea of people who were there and got to hear it in person. Sometimes we learn things and never get to see the Real Deal. Memorization is a good thing. Should we memorize just for the sake of being able to spit it back out with 95% accuracy? but if taken to heart, there is value.


You don't need to know all the words in the correct order to get it. For me, it wasn't until I quit try to memorize and started knowing the Parables, that I got them. Maybe it is just me - bad memory Girl but whatever works. Just like the prayer thing, whatever works. No cookie cutter or recipe, we each have to find our own way. Which would I rather have, a kid who can recite line by line because they can or one who mixes it up but whose heart is filled with the Love of Jesus? No brainer baby.

I have a Dream... or do I? I don't believe that world peace is possible this side of heaven. What would my dream look like. When I look at Gage and MLK, I see the need for a dream. Might have to work on that...
