Well I spent the MLK weekend in DC with a few friends. We wandered around the Mall. I was impressed, being able to see all the sites that are so familiar and ingrained in the mind of America is awe inspiring. At the same time when I looked over at the Capital building and peeked at the White House I did think, "Man, people are spending millions of dollars and careers are centered around getting people here!" (Perhaps that is what Judah was trying to say with Psalm 146)
We also went to the Native American Museum, that was rather somber. The Zoo was fun, though a little cold.
We went to two churches on Sunday. Augustana ELCA, a really pretty building, fairly full, a traditional service, and packed with choir-people. Then we went to Shilo Baptist. It was very upscale (the ushers wore white gloves and seated you) and the pastor sang (whooped) his sermon. The pastor is also president of Palmer Seminary.
The link to the top is to Barack Obama's sermon for MLK day.
Peace,
Chris
