Celebrating A Dreamer and A Doer – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Leave a comment

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. He was a minister, a leader, a dreamer, and a civil rights icon. I feel like it’s more important than ever to remember all the things he did and to continue the fight for equality, justice, and love. The people of the world are better because he lived what he preached and made things better for so many. His work continues on in those he influenced. We need that work now more than ever. Thank you, Dr. King, for putting hands and feet to your faith.

Something About Feelings

1 Comment

I have talked about feelings before, and I have a few more things to say.

Everyone has feelings. They are wonderful, but they can also be a problem. I struggle with my feelings because I feel very deeply about things. A lot of times I don’t know how to manage it out of fear and perhaps some societal norms that men have about the subject.

Dealing with one’s feelings and emotions takes work, and I don’t always do my best there. Knowing your feelings requires you to sit with them and hope for the best. All I know is that “everybody hurts” sometimes, and that time can heal how you feel.

Here is a flashback to 2016 with me donating blood at the blood bank I work for. Some things never change.

A Photo Of Me In 2016

There is this thing online where people are posting pictures of them and other stuff from 2016. Now that is 10 years ago if my math is right. It seems like it was just yesterday or something like that. The picture I have chosen is from Universal Orlando Resorts City Walk in Orlando, Florida. Notice there is more hair and no beard. At least I was having fun.

Fiction Speaking To Reality

Truth! Admiral William Adama of fiction speaks to the reality of the moment. This is one of Battlestar Galactica’s greatest commentaries. It seems like these words are a warning more than ever.

Something About A Funeral

1 Comment

I went to a funeral at church today. The person being memorialized was the brother of a fellow church member. Frankly, it was good to go and be reminded of how precious life is. Also, it was good to focus on being there for a friend who is grieving.

Everyone is grieving something these days. Losing someone special is a pain that hangs around for a long time. Trust me, I know all too well.

While I was there at church, I was unaware of what was going on in the rest of the world. Sure, I had my phone with me, but I just kept it in the holster on my waist. Bill, who was being remembered, and his family were the focus of the moment. I was glad to be there because it was the right thing to do. Rest in power to Bill and others who have left us for eternity.
