Over 450 people showed up to this event I helped planned. It was incredible, full of kairos moments- moment pregnant with impact and richness. Some high points: the speaker talking about how black and whites wouldn't sit next together; the little girl exclaiming that MLK was shot by someone who "didn't understand"; a girl yelling that's messed up when told that once upon a time black people could vote; people singing freedom march songs, and I could go on and on. A glimpse of the kingdom, where people come together talk about the good the bad and the ugly. Where history is shared and remembered and incorporated into how we live life today.
Cannot believe how it all came together, oh wait, yes I can. Because I have a father in heaven who dreams these dreams too. One nation, under God with liberty, justice, and love for all.
