What are you doing for others?

"Life's most urgent and persistent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
Dr. & Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Last week I had the privilege of walking the streets of Atlanta in the area that this great man lived and I must say that it is amazing to think about what one man did for the oppressed people of this community, state, and nation. After visiting his church, memorial, and burial site I am more than ever compelled to consider how my life can be lived in service to others. Whether it is the students that I have the honor of instructing, my neighbors, or my loving family, I must consider the question before us all everyday. The answer needs to be, "As much as I can today with bigger dreams for tomorrow!" What are you doing for others today?
