Congratulations to Glen Beck for his tribute to honor the heroes of this country. In a beautiful sentiment to this country, Glen Beck not only honored the founders of this nation, he honored the memory of Martin Luther King on the 47th anniversary of his famed "I Have A Dream" speech. One of his guests was the niece of King, Dr. Alveda King. She gave a rousing speech that stirred the crowd. Close to half a million people came to Beck's tribute, people from all over the world. They listened to words of faith, inspiration and joy. People, Black, White, and Asian joined together leaving politics at home.
Listening to a Vietnam veteran lead the closing prayer brought tears to the eyes of even the strongest and hardiest people, when Beck related the story of how his face was injured when he took a grenade blast rather than have anyone else be hurt. When he wept into his pillow and turned away, his face remained in the pillow and he only had one eye left. He turned to God to heal and he has healed in mind and body and his prayer was very moving. We heard voices raised in praise to God and in song, as black and white alike sang "Amazing Grace" to the accompaniment of the bagpipes.
Following, at the end, were song tributes from several country western singers. A beautiful day, a beautiful tribute, and beautiful words to honor this nation.
Farther away, in the distance, Rev. Al Sharpton's group gathered in tribute to Martin Luther King, but his words were not for the healing of the country. No, they were cruel and divisive. You have to ask yourself, why does a man of God continue to denigrate and divide his people against white people. And yet he's not considered a racist?
Every report that I have seen so far is trying to divide and denigrate what was done in D.C. today. But I forget: these are the people who ridicule the right and their belief in God. These are the people who believe in abortion and the taking of innocent lives; these are the kind of people who want to keep racism alive.
Glen Beck raised over 5 million dollars for his charity: the Special Ops Warriors Organization. Again, Congratulations to Beck for staging an extremely successful event. God is surely reigning down blessings upon this man who so eloquently asked his attendees to carry the message of faith to the world. ~One Voice
