Minnesota Prayer Breakfast

I attended the Minnesota Prayer Breakfast this week in St. Paul. It was an excellent event, because many people of different political opinions were able to gather together to talk about one thing that they had in common: God and the power of prayer.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty talked about the need to pray for our troops. Brad Anderson, the CEO of Best Buy, gave the keynote speech and related a story about a close call on a recent airline flight that he took. There was a rough landing at LaGuardia Airport; he prayed before landing. Instead of praying for survival, Anderson found himself immediately praying for forgiveness.

We all need God's forgiveness. In addition, we all need to forgive each other.
