Even when we walk away.

There is no excuse for God not being in our life.

Yesterday, for the fist time in years (probably longer), I saw the color of my skin

Martin Luther King Jr. quote
Thank God for Martin Luther King Jr. Seriously.

 

Mentioned yesterday there’s a likelihood we’ll see thoughts on Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.

If it will make it better, or worse.

Yesterday, for the fist time in years (probably longer), I saw the color of my skin being visible to others as we passed each other by.

Surreal.

Frederick Douglass slavery quote

Katie’s future is so bright, it reminds us of us.

For her parents, it must be the most exciting, and frightening, time of their lives.

Give them roots and give them wings.

Looks good on paper.
