One Shore

Friday, August 23, 2013

It was a small article in our local paper, hidden among the ads.
Al Sharpton was a guest speaker at the Daytona Friendship Baptist Church.

This small article allowed us an opportunity.
I consider this man to be a 'gladiator' fighting for equal rights for all of us.
I was not disappointed.

Travon Martin was his first priority. I was glad of that. As a Catholic (never experiencing a Baptist Church) I did not know what to expect. I was blown away!

We all know the outcome of this tragic event.  Reverend Sharpton was not there to enflame or blame.

He was there in the capacity of soothing and helping and answering age-old questions.

Thank God for people who put themselves last.
