Mayor Elect

So, this morning I had the wonderful privilege to attend the 42nd Annual Leadership Prayer Breakfast here in Calgary. Here's a breakdown of how my morning went:

530am Woke up and pressed the snooze button

545am Actually got up and made myself presentable

630am Left house to go Downtown

658am Arrived at the Westin Hotel

705am Met Darryl Janz of CFCN News woohoo!

715am The new Mayor-Elect of Calgary Arrived!

928am Met and talked to "His Worship"(yes that is what the program said) Mr. Naheed Nenshi!

Yep, that's right, I met the new Mayor this morning. Not only is he super personable and smily, but let me tell you, this prayer breakfast was his FOURTH event of the morning. Can you imagine having 3 other meetings all before 7am? What a trooper!

All in all, it was a pretty cool event to attend. I mean, how often is it that you get to come together for a morning of fellowship with other high profile (Christian) leaders of your city? There is something so powerful about it. And it was a great reminder that as Christians we need to be praying for the leadership of our city, province and country. Even if you don't like what they are doing, or support their platforms, they are still the leaders that we have chosen and we need to put our faith and support in them. Be encouraged friends, lets pray for our leaders.
