In which I am loving Michelle Obama

August 26, 2008

I am (thanks to MSNBC.com’s streaming video) watching the Democratic National Convention. I wanted to hear Michelle Obama’s speech. I thought it was FAN-TASTIC. Just love that woman - smart, articulate, accomplished. I loved her girls at the end; they seemed so bright and secure.

Right after the speech though, they announced the benediction prayer. And it was Donald Miller! I almost fell over. I hadn’t realised that he was that well-known; maybe I’ve been under a rock since falling in love with Blue Like Jazz a few years ago. (BTW, did he lose a ton of weight OR WHAT?)

Anyway, beautiful prayer, beautiful heart. Loved that he made sure to say that he was praying in the name of Jesus. I searched around after he was done and was interested to hear some of his answers to questions about “why pray at the DNC”? Thought someone else might find this interesting too.

    Oh my! What a speech. She is so beautiful-and those girls! I stayed awake to hear her and I'm glad I did!

    Thanks for posting the link to Donald Miller. I missed that.

    Thanks for that Sar! 8/26/2008 6:01 AM Tez_T (message) block delete reply I missed Don but I did see Cameron Strang's interview on Fox News last night and he said Don was going to pray (I was too tired last night…went to bed early). He pulled out because he felt his role was to remain neutral and focus on the issues and not one particular party.

    I read that Don was on a cross country bicycle trip and I'm sure that's why he lost a ton of weight.
