BLAH BLAH B.L.A.H.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at time of challenge and controversy.

Now is the time to stand up to the challenges of today.

Man cannot win if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety.

Now is the time to assure a future of hope for our children.

Violence is immoral because it thrives on the hatred rather than love. It destroys cmmunity and makes brotherhood impossible. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy.

Now is the time for non-violent actions; the time to build a community and make brotherhood possible.

True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force - confusion, tension, war, but the presence of some positive force - justice, goodwill, brotherhood.

Now is the time for peace on earth and good will for all humans. Help us, Lord to remember to celebrate and to act as 21st Century servants embracing the dream of the great dreamer, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For today we can say, that part of the dream has been realized with President Barack Obama and effort are being made to live in a non- violent society.
