Say Amen! A Benediction

As I post this, I've not watched the inaugural events -- had meetings today -- but I did hear that the benediction was worth attending to. The word was that Rick Warren made his a "Christian prayer," which was his right. Joseph Lowery, one of the last remaining member of the early days of the civil rights movement, at age 87, gave his benediction and blessing. It was a prophetic moment, one that we may not be accustomed to hearing. And my informant was right, this was a powerful prayer. I look forward to hearing what preceded it, knowing that it ended on the right tone.

Amen.

Below is the prayer in full from YouTube. Not quite sure about the meaning of the Bible texts at the end, but you'll get the whole thing.

Well, Bob, it seems to me that the Open Door people, whoever they are, apparently hacked into the YouTube video and added their take on the benediction. I wonder, just who are the real "perverse people" under consideration?
