Martin
Friday, April 4, 2008 at 11:25AM in politics You felt it too.
"Where are the girls that would set my heart on fire?"
How many times did you ask that question, Martin? Those dark and lonely nights, when you knelt beside your bed, afraid, trembling before your destiny. "Take this cup away from me," you begged. "Let this cup pass from me!"
The foolish, desperate question resounded in your soul, maybe for a second, a day, a month--moments you lacked faith, but His will be done, and, steeling yourself to the task, you told Him:
"Not as I will, but as You will."
Then one day the church secretary introduced you to a pretty young lady from the New England Conservatory, Coretta, and, with her at your side, Martin, the glory of the Lord was made known to all the people.
Amen.
