This morning I rose early and drove to Frankfort to attend the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast. I met some interesting people and enjoyed some excellent music. The Kentucky State University Concert Choir sang several selections along with a Jewish folk singer named Dan Nichols. Governor Steve Beshear spoke of his faith as did several Kentucky leaders. Here are a couple of quotes I jotted down as the Governor spoke:
Faith is the force that should unite us, but many times we use faith to divide us.
We have never needed unity more than we do today.
Dan Nichols closed the gathering with a Susan Werner song called “May I Suggest.” As Dan sang, it was a very powerful moment in the Frankfort Civic Center. Werner’s lyrics led us to consider the current moment as “the best moment of our lives.” Here’s a video of Susan singing that powerful song:
