Martin Luther King's Birthday

Today we celebrated the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. which was actually January 15, 1929. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968.  He had many famous speaches and was one of the USA's greatest orators and leaders.  He brought a gentle revolution to America and changed the world.  Today, I read from my friend, Melony, one of the "We will err and falter as we climb the unfamiliar slopes of steep mountains, but there is no alternative, well trodden path. There will be agonizing setbacks along with creative advances.  Our consolation is that no one can know the true taste of victory if he has never swallowed defeat!" Dr. Martin  Luther King.  For those of us who seek the Adventure of Recovery or the Adventure of Life, this statement is particularly true.
