That was a beautiful prayer...and terribly politically incorrect within the DNC. He said the name of Jesus out loud! Wonder if there were any boos?

Tiki asked how did the crowd react, well look at their faces as the benediction goes on.....Shock and Awe.

LOL when I pop that up the video starts with a 30 second commercial for Belterra Casinos.

Thanks very much, Biglook - I've been away from the computer and not able to respond to questions on the thread. I note the tape stops immediately at the need of the Benediction - don't know what happened thereafter - i.e. whether he was booed.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I wonder what the dimocrats did when he prayed:

**including Governor Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan, who seek to serve the common good by seeking public office.**

When C-SPAN's cameras cut to the convention floor, there were a few delegates visibly cringing at that mention.
