We see it now in the Canada convoy protest… The “Freedom Convoy.” Originally intended to protest vaccine

We walked. Talked. Spent time together. We walked and talked together. Martin Luther King Jr. Day was this past Monday. It’s a day that celebrates the Christian faith, call for justice and equality, and nonviolent approach of Dr. Martin Luther King. I’m no expert. And I don’t
