Happy Birthday Dr. King!!

Everyone once in a while the question is raised as to the relevance of the King holiday. To that I say that Dr. King's holiday will always be relevant, especially as long as hatred and intolerance exists anywhere in the world. Dr. King's life of self-sacrifice for civil rights is an example to be followed. Last year President Obama declared the King holiday a day of community service. Let's follow in that tradition. I know we are still battling our own economic hardship, but the recent and ongoing tragedy in Haiti is tiny in comparison. Please make a donation and say a prayer for the survivors in Haiti. I can not imagine having my entire country decimated within minutes. I can't comprehend that level of devastation. Remember King and remember Haiti.
