I heard a story today about an eighty year old woman who had married her forth husband. A reporter was interviewing her and asked what her husband did. She said he owned a funeral home. Still curious the reporter asked what her other husbands did. She said her first husband was a banker and the next was a circus manager and the one after that was a minister. The reporter was amazed at the variety of their careers. He asked why she had married them. "Well," she said, "One was for the money ,two for the show, three to get ready and four to go."

How can a speech given more than five decades ago still move people to tears. Some words live forever and people who never heard the original speech know it and can quote from it and their hearts can be stirred by it years after the speechmaker has been buried. "I have a dream." Martin Luther King said. "That one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal...that sons of former of salves and the sons of former salve owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood...the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice...they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character...little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and little white girls as sister and brothers...Let freedom ring...Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty we are free at last.
We have come a long way toward that dream. Let's not let anyone try to crush it. Let the dream live on.

New Year
I often thought why do we start a new year in the middle of winter. It makes more sense to start the new year around the beginning of spring. Spring is a new start. There are births and new growth from old growth. Everything seems fresh and new. Then I found out. We used to start the new year in the spring. Someone at sometime decided they wanted the new year to begin in January. It seems stupid to me and it seemed stupid to a lot of people. A lot of people kept celebrating the new year in the spring. This was not liked. Someone wanted to put a stop to this. So someone came up with a plan. They started calling the spring celebrators, April fools. That's right. The new year used to start on April 1st. Happy New Year!!!!
