MLK Day doesn't get enough pub here in Iowa. We have school like any other day. Sure the banks and post offices are closed but that is about the only sign of the holiday.
But as Christ-followers, what can we take from the life and sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr? If we are to truly life as Jesus did, take on the appearance of the Christ, how better to live than he? He brought others out of oppression by preaching a message of nonviolence. He lead a march, a movement that swept across the land and changed everything. He even died in the name of love.

Pride
U2
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
We should all strive to live like MLK. We should serve the Lord with all our hearts and give up ourselves as living sacrifices for His purpose. I want my life to be a celebration of Martin Luther King.
