Just got into work a little while ago. Second day this week that I've come in late. I was offered a ticket to the National Day of Prayer Breakfast that is held every year...usually on the actual National Day of Prayer which is the first Thursday in May for those who didn't know that. Well anyways...it was a neat experience. I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. to get ready and then a met a family at my church at 6:00 a.m. to be at the Double Tree in Austin by 6:30. Well it was awesome. The Govenor, Mr. Rick Perry, gave a little talk about the importance of prayer in our lives and in our leaders.
There was also an actual speaker that talked about how our founding fathers built this nation on religion and that we should keep it that way. We really should pray for anyone in a leadership position. There were lots of prayers going out this morning, prayers for people involved in: business's, media, education, church, family, government. It was amazing to see and hear all the prayers.
Thursday, being the National Day of Prayer, everyone in this town is supposed to gather at the city park at noon for prayer. Rumor has it that good ol' George W. Bush is supposed to make an appearance. We'll see. The secretary and I were discussing ways of closing the church for a couple hours that day to go out there. We both have never been to one, so it would be neat to see and watch all the people pray. Awesome....
Things here are just going super. I get to hang out with Lauren tonight as well which just makes this day that much better. Yessssssss.
"God Bless America, Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home."
-Irving Berlin
