I was not even four years old when Dr. King was assassinated. So, I cannot honestly say how I perceived him. But, I can say I saw how others around me viewed him and talked about him. Undoubtedly, that influenced me. Dr. King’s tireless, relentless pursuit of justice was inspirational to many, including myself. From a secular point of view, I choose to remember and emulate Dr. King from my years with Rotary where the motto is “Service above self.” From a non-secular point of view, I choose to remember and emulate Dr. King with the words from the Epistle of James:
James 1:2-4
2My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Thanks Dr. King for being a role model to many people in many walks of life.
