In Rememberance of MLK

"I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.

Most of these people will never make the headlines and their names will not appear in Who's Who. Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light of truth is focused on this marvelous age in which we live -- men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land, a better people, a more noble civilization -- because these humble children of God were willing to suffer for righteousness' sake."

--Martin Luther King Jr. (Nobel Price Acceptance, December 1964)

War, hatred and injustice too often drown out the goodwill that human beings so often spread. I'm hoping that each dollar that I raise, with each mile that I run, another victory will be logged in the goodwill standings. It may be that the blazing light of truth seldom focuses on the good. Whether it those who fight cancer, injustice, evil or violence, I hope that these pages cast some of this light on these "humble children of God." While far from the headlines of the New York Times, I write today in honor of MLK, his mission, and all who practice goodwill. I look forward to running throughout the finer land, better people, and more noble civilization that Dr. King envisioned.
