It has been a strange day…in a good way. This morning I was invited to “pray” or “do a blessing” for the local United Way campaign kick off. I was honored to be asked. I have a few people in my church connected to the organization and I’ve worked with others on the board before, so I knew quite a few people. I felt it was important to include those that have been effected by the hurricane Katrina.

Later that afternoon I was in my office and received a call from the High School Athletic director who asked if I would be willing to pray before the football game tomorrow night because of the Hurricane. I don’t know if the two events are connected or not. Again, I am glad that for whatever reason God is using me even if that means a short prayer. Even though the prayer will only be about 30 seconds or so (by request), my prayer is that in 30 seconds God can touch hearts here and lives in the South.
