“Other things being equal, classes with high social and economic privilege will scarcely be prone to evolve the idea of salvation. Rather they will assign to religion the primary function of legitimizing their own life pattern or situation in the world.” Max Weber
“I had hoped that the white moderate would reject the myth concerning time in relation to the struggle for freedom…Such an attitude stems from a tragic misconception of time, from the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually, time itslef is neutral; it can be used either destrutively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good wil.. we must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” MLK

Those quotes are awesome. I don't want to say that either quote is better or worse than the other, but the Max Weber quote needs to be heard, because that is so predominant in our culture of relativity. Thanks bro.
I haven't checked your blog for a while, and don't have time right now to catch up on all of it...but let me just say this...
I'm sad you're leaving. I'm going to miss watching your little girls growing up! Promise to post pics often, K?
Your family is a huge blessing to us! Love to the Paxtons! Love, Jen
MLK rocks!!!!!!!
My personal favorite:
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”-MLK Jr.
