I’m tired of going to jail,” he admitted in 1968. “Living every day under the threat of death, I feel discouraged every now and then and feel my work’s in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.” </p> I can’t tell you how many times I’ve returned to this post!

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr. <br /> Martin Luther King Jr </p> This post is in memory of one of my “personal” spiritual HEROS!
