The Watches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nothing new but always interesting especially around his birthday.

That's great, thanks for posting. In the past famous preachers have been chastised for having nice things like a Rolex. I for one have no issue with it as long as its not in excess. A man preaching word of God is just as worthy of having nice things if not more so than other professions...IMHO
