How do you do it, Laura? Not only do you inspire me as a writer, you inspire me as a parent. You manage, again and again, to get me really excited about crazy things, like those adolescent years. Yes, a post like this One and I'm ready.

Always so thankful for your work. And your play.

You're a good Mama!

Oh, I love this speech. I dissected it aplenty as a grad student studying rhetoric. This speech is superb in every way.

I love the way you likened MLK Jr. to Samuel and God putting a dream in our hearts. Beautiful post.

I must admit - shamefacedly - to a little bit of a ho-hum attitude yesterday. Oh, yeah, a holiday. Completely forgetting the power of these words, this man, these convictions! You brought tears to my eyes, Laura- I could SEE you there and I could see your son's change in posture, the slant of the sun on his face, the embarrassment morphing to wonder. Oh, yes. Thanks be to God. I HAVE A DREAM... Amen. Let's hear it for the dreamers. They stand in God's shadow.

I would've driven down to West Virginia had I known this was going on. We would have loved to see it! And you, sweet Laura.

I agree, your boy will always remember and be proud.

Love that vision of you boldly proclaiming MLK Jr's vision...Thanks, Laura...how wonderful that your son caught the vision from you : )

More than once I have embarrased my children when I was outspoken. However there are things that MUSR be done and said and you were good. I could hear you from here.
When you were through I liked the change in attitude of your son.
Lovely Post!

" ... if God puts a dream in your heart … you must be listening to hear his voice."

Words for all ages, races, creeds, tongues, and times.

Thank you for letting us see through your eyes.

I.love.this! Every last picture of you on the bridge over waters...it is so beautiful and FREE...I've been thinking a lot about that yearning to be free and when you started reading that speech my heart sang happy for the vision of you living free! Amen&Amen...and for THAT DAY we still yearn and long...and so we dream and live the dream!

Amazing, Laura!! Your son will always remember that! Thank you for sharing how you were true to your voice that day, being led by God to speak up from high, loud and clear, not caring what any one else thought or said.....a soul led by Him, that is who you are!!...free indeed....
Blessings, Cate

wow... I could just imagine this taking place. We teach by our ordinary moments and sometimes our 'extraordinary ones' too.

I share Megan's sentiments. Thank you for your moving post this morning. "This is our hope and faith" and we need to pay it forward. Applauding you!

Any day you get a "it's pretty cool" from a teenage boy, you know that hills and mountains are being made low and rough places made plain. Keep living the dream!

Yesterday didn't feel like MLK Day. But today, reading your blog, it does. I love the picture of you, standing on a bridge, reciting Martin's words.

God bless America!

Love this! Thank you so much. May we become visionaries in His name, and may people see Jesus through us.
