Donald Miller and the Democractic National Convention

Many of you know of author Donal Miller. He’s most known for his work Blue Like Jazz, but most recently, he’s been known for giving the benediction at the Democratic National Convention’s opening night in Denver just this past Monday. It’s been less than a day since the video has been up on YouTube, yet it’s been played 910 times already (as of 11:45am).

Here’s a challenge: take some time, and meaningfully read through the comments others have posted. Think about them and ask yourself if you agree with Donald Miller’s prayer or if other things need to happen as well. Take some time to get read up on the issues.

Below is the actual video. You can see the prayer in written form via Donald Miller’s website, at donaldmillerwords.com.
