As promised, color and light for the morning as the day’s inch longer every day. I think of this as a message of hope. It gets brighter every day in ways we can see.

Fear is a barrier to life. We know what we want but fear that we will be unable to do it, start it, or maintain it. Martin Luther King, Jr. faced this fear on behalf of others. He wrote, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase; just   take the first step.”

Like many courageous prophets, Dr. King falls out of favor with those younger and angrier. His courage will never be for nothing. His heart was bigger than now.
