Martin Luther King and the meaning of life
In chapel as part of my talk yesterday about the meaning of life, I read excerpts from King's "I Have a Dream" speach. I found this speech powerful. I found a website that has the audio on line and was moved by its power... (I'm not linking 'cuz the audio was not so good and the feed kept stopping to buffer - if you kow a better site that really works you could give it to us in a comment). My point in chapel was that life does indeed have meaning. So I would ask this of you... what would you answer to a person who asked you what is the meaning of life...??? hmmmmm? perhaps we can see an interesting comment or two...
