brothers and sisters.

Today we were at the beach and I was officiating a seemingly endless number of races between my kids.

As I was watching different groups of kids run up and down the beach I thought about how with the sun low on the horizon, it was impossible to tell what color they were. They were just these silhouettes running and laughing.


And I thought back to earlier in the week when Nick and I took 16 minutes to listen to Dr. King's, "I have a dream" speech. I have listened to it numerous times and I still get chills every time I hear it. But back to today. Today I was thinking about the part of his dream where "little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers."

Later I looking through the pictures and telling Nick about my thoughts today. He looked at the pictures and said, "I guess when you look at things in the light of the sun, you don't see black or white." And the first thing that came to mind when he said that was, "When you look at things in light of the Son, you don't see black or white." And the second thing that came to mind was, "Either way, amen."
