A Portrait of Grace

As much bravery as it took for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to stand up for what was right in the civil rights movement, I think it took even more strength to love that person, to grieve his tragic death and to raise their children by herself while continuing to spread the word about her husband's vision. Mrs. King continued to fight for people who were marginalized and took on the weighty issues of gay rights and AIDS along with race. It will always amaze me that a woman who put her life on the line, along with the lives of her children, did it will such grace and steadfast determination. I am proud to know that a woman from tiny, rural Marion, Ala. had, and will always have, the power to make the world look and listen.

My own blog will be changing in format. I will be going in a more spiritual manner of things. Some incidents during the Christmas holidays have changed me in a manner that I can no longer continue as I have blogged in the past. Some blogs I use to visit I will no longer visit because of their content. I spend more of my time at CatholicAnswers.org in the forums there under the username "JoeyWarren". I ask questions and I give answers to Protestants that visit there to ask question. I moving on toward the path of being a "Catholic Apologist". Small clue as to why: I was informed by my Father and Step-mother that they did not recognize my family as Christians because my membership in the Catholic Church, they are actually convinced that Catholics are pagan if not Satanic.
For those of you that I don't visit anymore, forgive me, but I must do what I must do.
