I HAVE A DREAM – 50 YEARS LATER
“Next week, the first black U.S. president, a living symbol of the racial progress civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about, will stand near the spot where King stood 50 years ago and say where he believes the nation should be headed.” – Washington (AP)

OOTD – Inauguration Day
Posted on: January 21, 2013
Hello Friends and Happy Inauguration Day AND Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
As I sit at my desk watching the live stream coverage of Inauguration Day Ceremonies, my heart is filled with pride yet heavy with sadness. Dr. King would have been very proud of President Obama, yet very disappointed at the hatred so prevalent in our great Nation. I don’t think you have to be an African American to understand the history of today or feel the pride of freedom you just have to be an American.
Okay getting off the soap box now…

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday
This morning’s Church service was good, unfortunately the building was without heat but our souls was warmed by the Word. I hope the rest of your day goes well and if you are off tomorrow for Dr. King’s Birthday, (I’m not), enjoy and be a blessing to someone!
I was really excited to realize that the Miche bag I had purchased in November at the Holiday Open House, matched the shoes that I purchased from Target last week. Don’t you love when that happens?
