I just wanted to share with you the last speech of Martin Luther King, Jr. He gave this speech on April 3, 1968 in Memphis, the night before he was killed. Probably my favorite speech of his. Basic theme: the cost of freedom. I love the story he shares of getting stabbed by a lady that almost killed him; if only he had sneezed. He knew that he had to do whatever God called him to do in order to aid those fighting for their basic civil rights. Even if it cost him his life. Oh, that we would push ourselves out of our comfort zones and do what is right even when it's not comfortable.
"Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness." - Martin Luther King Jr.
