Rather than debate the cause of this tragedy, let’s take pause and heed wisdom from a political voice from our past.  On the evening of the tragic assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., riots broke out in nearly every major city in the United States.

He was strongly encouraged by his security to cancel the event because of the likelihood of riots breaking out once word spread.  Kennedy ignored their concerns, approached the microphone and shared the tragic news with the crowd. Unscripted, he delivered one of the most powerful speeches in American history. A speech credited with keeping Indianapolis from burning and its people from injury on April 4, 1968. Delivered more than five decades ago, it speaks to the profound divisions we are experiencing as a nation as well as the hope of how we still can heal together.

It is my hope for you to embrace all the hope and It is my hope for you to embrace all the hope and joy that are possible in your new year. Please allow this excerpt from my #1 national bestselling book IN AWE to help you see the truth that the possibilities before you are endless, if only you look… (chapter 1, page 5)  – – –  “I’d always dreamed of playing professionally for the St. Louis Cardinals. I just knew that one day I’d put on that uniform, take the field, and play for my beloved hometown team. Those were my dreams at age nine. Similar to the aspirations of other young children. We didn’t yet know to be realistic with our goals.  Yet even a child knows when it’s time to awaken to a grim reality. The fire had robbed me of that dream forever. I’d never hold a baseball. I’d never play for the Cardinals or wear the St. Louis uniform. Painful as that fact was, I took solace in one beneficial aspect of my injuries: at least I’d never have to take a piano lesson again. There is a silver lining to every cloud, people!  So why on earth was Mrs. Bartello here?  Mom approached my wheelchair, bent down, and released the brakes. She reversed my wheelchair away from the kitchen table and pushed me down the hallway into our family room. “Mom, where are you taking me?”  …Instead [of answering], Mom humbly, bravely, lovingly pushed me away from the spot where I’d been stuck in the kitchen and moved me toward a new destination, a new perspective…  She rolled me to the piano, relatched the brakes, and calmly told Mrs. Bartello she’d be in the kitchen if we needed anything. She then walked out of the room, stranding me alone with Mrs. Bartello…  Then, as if nothing had changed in my life in the five months since she’d last seen me, Mrs. Bartello pulled out the sheet music for a song I’d been learning for my mom. Back then, I had fingers but little desire to use them to play piano. That lack of desire remained and was a hurdle we’d have to leap over together. But, of course, now it was far from the only one.  - - - -  To read the rest of the excerpt, find out what this means for you in 2021 + get a free chapter of IN AWE, read the full essay on my website.

Will you marry me?
I do!
You're pregnant.
It’s a boy!
You’re hired!
You’re fired.
It’s cancer.
The cancer’s gone!

The words we speak, and those we hear, influence and directly shape the world in which we live. Words are powerful and last week in our nation’s capital we witnessed a clear example of this truth. Five people were killed, dozens injured and one of the most sacred spaces in our country was desecrated.

Rather than debate the cause of this tragedy, let’s take pause and heed wisdom from a political voice from our past.

On the evening of the tragic assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., riots broke out in nearly every major city in the United States. Fueled by anger at the murder of the leading voice for Civil Rights, cities around the country burned, more than 2,500 people were injured, and 35 people were killed.

One of the few cities undamaged was Indianapolis. One of the reasons for its exception was the words spoken there by a Presidential candidate.

Robert Kennedy was on his way to speak with a mostly Black audience in Indianapolis when he was made aware of the murder of his friend, Dr. King. He was strongly encouraged by his security to cancel the event because of the likelihood of riots breaking out once word spread.

Kennedy ignored their concerns, approached the microphone and shared the tragic news with the crowd. Unscripted, he delivered one of the most powerful speeches in American history. A speech credited with keeping Indianapolis from burning and its people from injury on April 4, 1968. Delivered more than five decades ago, it speaks to the profound divisions we are experiencing as a nation as well as the hope of how we still can heal together.

I have some very sad news for all of you. I think it is sad news for all of our fellow citizens. It is sad for people who love peace all over the world. The news is that Martin Luther King was shot. He was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.

Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that work. This is a difficult day, and a difficult time for the United States. It might be a good idea to ask what kind of a nation we are. We should ask what direction we want to move in.

There is evidence that white people were responsible for Dr. King being killed. For those of you who are black, you could be filled with bitterness because of this. You could be filled with hate, you could be bitter, and you could want revenge.

We can move in that direction as a country. We can move toward the country being more divided. We could move toward black people staying amongst blacks, and white people staying amongst whites. The two groups could be filled with hate toward one another. Or we can try, as Martin Luther King did, to understand. We can replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand. We could have kindness and love instead.

Those of you who are black might be tempted to be filled with hate for white people. You might not trust all white people because of the injustice of such an act. I would say this to you. I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. Someone in my family was killed. He was killed by a white man, too.

But we have to try in the United States. We have to try to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times.

My favorite poem, or my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:

“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

What we need in the United States is not to be divided. What we need in the United States is not hate. What we need in the United States is not physical attacks and lawlessness. We need love and wisdom. We need kindness toward one another. We need to have fair treatment under the law for those who still suffer within our country. The same fairness must be there whether they are white or black.

So I ask you tonight to return home, and say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King. But more importantly, say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love. You should pray for the understanding and kindness of which I spoke.

We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We have had difficult times in the past. We will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence. It is not the end of lawlessness. It is not the end of disorder.

But most white people and most black people in this country want to live together. They want to improve our lives. They want fairness for all human beings that live in our land.

And let’s devote ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago. They wanted to tame the savageness of man and make the life of this world more gentle. Let us devote ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people."

Kennedy finished speaking to a silent, sad, reflective room, bowed his head somberly, and walked off the stage.

His heartfelt, honest words saved lives. He changed the conversation, united people and began healing.

It was an invitation to shift away from divisions and hatred. To cease all physical attacks and lawlessness. To reveal love and wisdom and kindness toward one another. And to extend fair treatment under the law for those who still suffer within our country.

My friends, as we look around our world and nation, we need to heed this invitation. It’s not a Republican or Democratic issue. The answer we seek won’t be shared today on CNN, or on Fox, or MSNBC.

Today, we must extinguish the smug, self-righteous tone many pundits exude – and then we echo – about those with different beliefs than ours. We must acknowledge that the rhetoric has magnified divisiveness, increased hatred and does nothing to benefit any of us.

How do we even begin to do this? Well, this week, I encourage you to:

👉 Turn off the news.
👉 Take a break from social media.
👉 Be highly aware of the voice you are listening to and the words you are speaking.

The change we actually need will never be delivered by a politician. It’s not that easy and never was. It requires a softening of our biases, a changing of hearts and a desire to be love in a marketplace still starving for it.

That’s not just Trump’s job over his final days in office. Or Biden’s for the next four years.

It’s each of ours. And it’s time to go to work.

Today is your day. Live Inspired.

After one of my boys heard me talking about U2 ... and thought I was talking about another band [He asked, "Dad, you mean Toto? The guys who sing Africa?"] I had to invest a little time introducing him to some real music ...

And a message of ONE.

U2...Reminding that while we are not the same, we get to carry each other....carry each other!

So, my friends, that's what we are jamming out to tonight while packing lunches for tomorrow.
