Parks' belief in God and her religious convictions are at the core of everything she does. It is the overriding theme in her book and the message she hopes to impart: "I'd like for [readers] to know that I had a very spiritual background and that I believe in church and my faith and that has helped to give me the strength and courage to live as I did."
The courage of her convictions perhaps having no doubt read Pauls "it is not me who lives but Christ in me".
I'll give her all your regards when I get there..

So, here's to celebrating Rosa Parks' memory by celebrating those who exhibit the same basic qualities that make America special--this is a place where we stand up for our rights. Let's not lose that.
It is worth nothing that there is nothing particularily unique to American about people standing up for their rights. In fact the chances of getting persecuted to death/prison/torture for standing up for ones rights is by far and away less in America than in many countries in the world today.
My thoughts turn to places like China...
