Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Day. It is also the birthday of Edgar Allen Poe, one of my bride's favorite authors. While these may seem totally unconnected, both men left a lasting impression on our society. Both men saw the beauty and ugliness in Man and chose to believe in the beauty. Both had a great capacity for love and used words to weave a tapestry that held us all rapt.
While Dr. King was taken many years ago, his dream of a free and loving society is still a process. Unfortunately, there are those elements around the globe whose agenda is the opposite of that freedom and love we all desire. These elements base their hate on their religion, not skin color, and we are all caught in their crossfire. Let us celebrate together, stand together, and keep the dream alive. ~Michael S. Pauley
