I think Dr. Martin Luther King was a man - a great man, but still a man. I wonder if we name people such as Dr King saints to honor them, or to separate and raise them above the rest of us. We all have small opportunities in our lives to do good things, and I think it's good if we don't believe we have to be saints or superhuman to do them.

He wasn't given more than anyone else, but he did far more with what he had than most do. I'm glad we honor him with this holiday. I think it's possible he did more work to make this country a better place than anyone else.

I'll always remember Martin Luther King as a man who achieved greatness by having a dream, and by never losing sight of it. I wish I could have met him, even if I wouldn't have had the first idea what to say.
