Them's some good preachin'
If you're not watching the TV coverage of Coretta Scott King's memorial service going on as I type this, you're missing one of the most moving and uplifting programs you'll ever see. This is a worship service, a time of praise and honor, with Mrs. King's life as being the excuse, but with the Lord of the Heavens as the true focus.
The music is awe-inspiring, the eulogies magnificent and emotional, the audience charitable and expressive.
I think Dr. and Mrs. King are watching and nodding with approval. I wish the generous spirit of unity that's being expressed in that Georgia Baptist church could spread to the ends of the earth.
Update: It's now after 3:00 pm and the service continues its glacial pace...but, unfortunately, it did not continue its inital "high road" path. The Usual Suspects took their opportunities at the podium to score political points in ways that I don't believe the Kings would have condoned. We continue to understand that class knows no color boundaries...nor does lack of it.

Bummer. She was a neat lady deserving of honor.
