The Dream...

Last week for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration last week, the high school had Rev. Billy Kyles come to partake in the school’s prayer services. Rev. Kyles invited MLK over to his house for dinner and spent the last hour in the Lorraine Motel with MLK. Afterwards on their way out to dinner, Rev. Kyles was on the balcony with MLK at the Lorraine Motel when he was shot.

Rev. Kyles did two talks at the school. It was a true honor to hear his story and inspiration the day after the country honored MLK. He spoke at a public prayer service on Tuesday night, and spoke for the school on Wednesday at a school prayer service. Tuesday evening, I had invited Charlie to come as well since he is also interested in Memphis history and we had once gone searching for the Lorraine Motel/National Civil Rights Museum our freshman year. Anyways the core of Rev. Kyles’ speech was the same both days: You can kill the Dreamer, but you can’t kill the Dream. Not only was he talking about the civil rights dream, but he was also talking about personal dreams as well.

And, yes, the Vikings lost in a game that was tough to watch. I went to Charlie’s to watch the game, he had about a dozen people to watch what should have been the Viking’s ticket to the Super Bowl.
