"I Have A Dream!" --Martin Luther King
Copyright © Phillip L. Hansen - Above conditions apply
Dream on oh dreamer, dream on. But take care to avoid idle shallow dreams that corrupt the soul. Dreams fuel good as well as evil passions that are burnt upon the heart; the spark of intent and purpose, which ignites the fuel of actions expressed in our behavior.
“As we think we travel; as we entertain we choose; it follows then that as we dream and aspire we plan and pursue.” --PLH
James Allen wrote, “Mind is master power that molds and makes and we are mind, and ever more we take a tool of thought and shaping what we will brings forth a thousand joys a thousand ills. We think in secret and it comes to pass; environment is but our looking glass.”
Look up and inward honorable manhood to honor love and respect virtuous honorable womanhood. Cherish and love the children of the womb as together they are a nucleus to budding families cities and nations. “Plan together, play together, pray together, and stay together; for the good of humanity. We have been given dominion over the things of the earth, of every kind and specie of element, plant, foul and animal, but not to be equal or live like them. They have their purpose as we have ours; moreover by failing to fulfill the purpose of our being we experience an immeasurable loss because of our lack of understanding.
What we obtain and become is determine by what we have LEARNED TO VALUE CHERISH AND TO LOVE, and if we do not recognize the value of all things and to cherish them for their true worth, we hold no gratitude for anything. “
Proverbs 15:12 - 15
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A MERRY heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a MERRY heart hath a continual feast.
However, who could be merry with the onset of Gustav with its destructive winds, and hurricane force, so now we are forced to face the reality where dreams are blown away by its ruthless winds. A reminder that only reality and truth are the bedrock, which can lead to a realization of dreams only if vetted for their virtue of truth, found in harmony to principles and laws of nature and of God.
Martin Luther King had a dream. Do we remember what that dream was? Do we remember what that dream was built upon? Do we remember the sacrifices that were made and the lives that were given to bring freedom for the heritage of all people not just a select few. Today this battle goes on.
Martin Luther King a Republican and a Conservative obtained the support of Gov. George Romney who worked with him in Michigan and marched with them in Atlanta, Georgia, and that same day sat with his wife in conference with them because he believes in liberty for all people everywhere. And were there is liberty it is because there is truth, and the people worship that God of liberty and truth.
This is the nature of a godly people, after seeking and obtaining a remission of their sins, the spirit endows them with peace and joy beyond human understanding, and a love for humanity so exquisite that thy desire that all people might rejoice with them and with God.
Let as walk together as Americans from now on. “Let us plan together, play together, pray together, and stay together; for the good of all humanity. Let this standard sing in our hearts, let this banner fly in every nation, until the “lamb lies down with the lion to eat grass where a child will lead them.”
