Kings Values: 1-16-12 Commentary

Listen to the commentary http://billydteacher.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/2052/


Today Monday, January 16, is Martin Luther King Day. Some Schools will be closed though I think it might be better to keep those schools opened and teach the kids about Martin Luther King but of course the kids aren’t going to hear about the values which guided King in the government schools.

During his Birmingham civil rights campaign, Dr. King required every participant to sign a pledge committing to do ten things. The first was to “meditate daily on the teachings and life of Jesus.” Others included the expectation that all participants would “walk and talk in the manner of love, for God is love;” and “pray daily to be used by God in order that all men might be free.”

Those of us who value life should be thankful for Dr. King.

What do you think.

Until Next Time

My Birthday, History 8-31-11 Commentary


This is what happened today in history Aug. 31. in 1980, representatives of the communist government of Poland agreed to the demands of striking workers . In 1886 – A South Carolina earthquake killed 100 souls. In 1888 Mary Ann Nichols is murdered. She is the first of Jack the Ripper's confirmed victims. In 1920 – The first radio news program is broadcast by 8MK in Detroit, Michigan.

On August 31, 1966 a guy named Billy David Dickson was born to William and Betty Dickson in Omaha, Nebraska. That is right I am 45 years young today.

The best birthday gift I have been given is to know the one who died for me and rose again so that by faith alone I could be justified and to know I am growing closer to him. What a birthday gift do you have that gift? What do you think.

Until Next Time
