Words of Wisdom from Martin Luther King, Jr.

“There is so much frustration in the world because we have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate. We have worshipped the god of pleasure only to discover that thrills play out and sensations are short-lived. We have bowed before the god of money only to learn that there are such things as love and friendship that money cannot buy and that in a world of possible depressions, stock market crashes, and bad business investments, money is a rather uncertain deity. These transitory gods are not able to save us or bring happiness to the human heart.

When we moved everything from the shop on North Main, we pulled items that would help bring John’s meeting space to our house, and this corner became the place.

He spent his whole paycheck on it and so he couldn’t go out with his friends but had to stay home and learn how to type.

We are not just growing older, we are becoming…

I wrote that post title, and thought to myself, I think John has written something about that. And he did. It is a page from Keeping First Things First, and it describes how we can change for better or for worse, and we can grow old or we can simply grow.
