On Martin Luther King Day we had the opportunity to participate in the parade in Atlanta. Martin Luther King is definitely a person I need to study and learn more about. I think for most of us, including me, Martin Luther King Day is just another holiday off of work, and that is sad. MLK believed in justice for all, not just for blacks, but for the homeless, the hungry, the poor, the widowed, the abused, the least of these, whatever their racial identity may be. We have a long way to go. My neighborhood is proof of that. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
After 2 1/2 years of marital bliss, Ben and I decided it was time for a change. And not just any change, a BIG change. We moved our belongings to my parents basement, quit our jobs, put Rico in a foster home, sold a car, joined Mission Year, moved to Georgia, moved in with 2 couples, become professional unapid volunteers, and are trying to raise $24,000 to keep it up!!!!
