Say a Prayer Today.

I want to offer a prayer for Coretta Scott King, who is in the hospital after suffering from a stroke.

I have always had a lot of respect for her. She showed great grace after Dr. Martin Luther King's death. She never used her fame or her husband's fame to put herself in the limelight. She never let the left use her as campaign tool. She has always seemed to be in complete control of what she wanted to do.

Going to the GOP and DNC conventions showed that she wanted the black community to be involved in the political process in both parties. This could not have made the Democrats happy. But she never seemed to care about that.

In all these years I don't remember her saying anything negative. It would have been easy for her to be bitter. It would have been easy to lash out and become a loud self involved camera hound like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have. It would have been easy for her to blame white America for her husband's death, but she didn't do any of those things.

She has always carried herself with dignity and grace. She has honored her husband and his memory as only a true lady can. She is a shining example of how to handle being a part of history and the fame that comes with that.

Get well Mrs. King. This generation needs your example.
