Word from Grace Street: The Freedom to Choose
Posted by Kimberly Allen
In yesterday's Word from Grace Street, Wallace+ reflects on the following insight by Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl:
"The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude."
He then considers the choice by Virginia Tech graduate Colin Goddard "not to allow himself to be defined simply as a victim of gunman Seung-Hui Cho":
"Like Frankl, Colin Goddard knows he is free to choose: free to choose his attitude. And so he chooses. And so he is working on a documentary; and so he appeared on Oprah this week (the "national audience" referred to above). He is free to choose, to choose his attitude. And he refuses to be defined simply as a victim."
A trailer for Living for 32, the documentary mentioned above, is below. This film is a semi-finalist for an Oscar in 2011 in the category "Best Documentary Short."

Slave Burial Ground: No Joke, A Rare Opportunity
Posted by Wallace+
Over the past few days my mind has kept returning to Michael Paul Williams' column from Friday, "Excavate the Slave Burial Ground, or the Joke's On Us."
The coming of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War & Emancipation presents our city, our commonwealth, and our nation with a rare opportunity.
And, likewise, we, the Church, are presented with a rare opportunity, an opportunity for us to witness to what is truly possible for the human family.
What will we Richmonders do? What will we Christians do?
Let us pray for integrity, for courage, and for good judgement for all those involved.
Amen, amen.
Video: Mike's Take
"It's clear what we're supposed to be commemorating next year remains both a bone of contention and a work in progress."

John Lennon at 70: A Family Reconciling
Posted by Wallace+
This Saturday, had he lived, John Lennon would be 70. I commend to you last night's CBS Evening News segment, which tells of how his two wives and his two sons have found peace together, something that, no doubt, would greatly please him.
Peace. Imagine.
