I have a friend Kunte Kinte Lueallen that this night participated in a talent show. He sang two songs–Empire (Queensryche) and I Won't Back Down ...(Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers). He has been planning this performance all week and today I downloaded music sheets for use by the band. He knows the lyrics by heart. (By this time next week his performance will be on Youtube and I will add it to this blog when it is available.) Kunte meets every challenge and surmounts every barrier life throws at him, and he never gives up. Lord I pray that I may emulate my friend’s passion, courage, focus, stamina, and persistence. I here honor not only my friend, but all similar heros who daily put the complacent and self-satisfied among us to ignoble shame.
