Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

A Good Book

Just read this book to the kids. With Martin Luther King Day on Monday, it seemed appropriate.
I want to instill in my children a love for their Liberian heritage, but I want them to also know of their American heritage.
This book documents the young Martin in Georgia and his anger at the way things were, all the way through his struggle to change things, and to his death.
It also documents Abraham Joshua Heschel's youth in Germany, Poland, then America. And his decision to join the 1965 march in Alabama.
With David's Jewish Heritage it helps to bring the book even more alive.
