Be Like MLK

Happy MLK Day!

In honor of one of the greatest, most inspiringly faithful people ever to walk our planet, here are a couple of my favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. May you be inspired to give your all to your faith, to your mission, and to your world with your God-given talents, just like he did. Or as he puts it so much better than I ever could: May you be the best of whatever you are.


• "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

• "If it falls on you to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelanglo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all of the hosts of Heaven will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are."

Amen!
