National Day of Prayer Breakfast











Early this morning -and I mean early 6:20am, Lori and I arrived at the Convention Center downtown around to participate in the Tennessee Goveners Prayer Breakfast. It is a wonderful event where our local government officials come together with some local church leaders and pray for our nation. It is non-denominational and great to see people of all walks of life gathered to lift God's name and ask for guidance, mercy and wisdom.
I photographed this event for The Nashville Choir while Lori sang.

We had a wonderful morning both Mayor Karl Dean and Governor Phil Bredesen attended and spoke hope for our city and state. Alison Kraus gave an amazing performance and sang with the choir. She is a true artist and it is so impressive to see someone so successful come and give of their time to show her love of God and our town. Did I mention how incredible she was?!? Words can not describe how uplifting the music was today. New to the Nashville community Scott Hamilton gave an inspirational speech about his struggles with cancer. He explained how his life was changed and impacted by prayer and how it gave him hope to continue on through his adversity.
Hope you enjoy the images and we are truly blessed to have been apart. We are looking forward to years of future events.
