Coretta Scott King, Portrait Of A Wife

Mrs. Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. died this morning she was 78. She had suffered a major stroke, and heart attack in 2005. She never totally recovered, as if anyone really does. In my humble personal opinion. She had been a testament, to her late husbands legacy until recently. I hadn't heard or seen her do anything, that would veer from the vision. What I consider a snafu. I'll just chalk that up, to her not being in her right mind. When she publicly spoke out, on behalf of Gay marriage. I don 't think that was a continuation of the dream. I think that was for personal reasons. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't beyond reproach, but he was a man of Christian principles. I don't think he would have compromised the word of God openly, even if it affected him personally. I'm not saying I think she was gay, so don't misunderstand. I think she took that position, because of someone close to her. She wasn't wicked, she was just weak. Everyone is responsible for themselves, but as Christians we can't overlook doctrine. It's imperative that we stand up for right, even when it's unpopular. I think that's just an example of what happens. When we look to a woman, to take a mans place. That iron hand is missing. I thinks it's represenative of his life, that his wife would be well cared for in his absence. Muzzle not the ox, that treadeth out the corn. The labourer is worthy of his hire. Martin Luther King Jr. was the civil rights leader. Coretta Scott King was his wife.
