Watching the DNC...is that Don Miller?

Yep. While we lived in Portland, Oregon, I had a couple of opportunities to connect with Don Miller. He's the author of numerous books, including Blue Like Jazz (a personal favorite). Great guy, and great author. Monday night he closed the Democratic National Convention out with prayer.

My thoughts:
  • Don has lost close to 100 pounds since I last saw him - and he looks great. (he just finished a coast to coast bike ride for Ride:Well, an event aimed at raising funds to build wells in Rowanda)
  • He gave an incredible prayer. No matter which color you bleed politically, his words were strong, clear, appropriate, and powerful.
Click below to watch it. (Note: around the 1:44 mark the audio cuts out for a few seconds, but it comes back. Hang in there.)

I give the prayer a big Amen.
