ok, so, i know martin luther king jr's a great christian leader, so i'd thought i'd do a great honor to him and what good he's done in the name of jesus, by fasting 24 hrs(or more), starting tomorrow morning... i dunno whether i'll start the fast right when i wake up, or after eating a hearty breakfast, but i think this is a good idea... i dunno what i'll be doing during the fast, except maybe studying for my science classes, but i'll try to put aside some time to spend in quiet w/god. maybe i'll also look online for some examples of what martin luther king jr's done...

this guy is one of the greatest close-to-modern day christians ever... when everyone else around him was simply trying to get back at the white man, he saw past each and every single white man's hate of him, saw the white man for who he was, not for the things he's done... this is what jesus would have done himself. he hated the sin, not the person. and in great respect to the white man, he disobeyed peacefully laws that he thought were wrong. but refused to resort to violence or sin. he turned the other cheek. and continued to do so, even when he knew it might bring death. i've heard about him getting up to just pray for 3 hrs before he started any type of work... wow...

martin luther king jr, i salute you... for being more than just another "pioneer black person..." this is for the christians that live and breathe today... for showing us christ's love personified through actions... for faith w/o deeds is not faith at all. we all could take a moment to really think about what you've REALLY done, as well as what you did NOT do, instead of using the extra 24 hrs of free time we get to do whatever we want...

again...

martin luther king jr., i salute you...

edit: i remember hearing something on air1 from "groundwire:" those that often see past your ugliness are those with the power to change you
