413-423 – Calls – Whaddaya think?  Appropriate and awesome, or shameful and inappropriate?  Don't we all tailor our  out-loud prayers for the audience?  Don't we all pray differently depending on who's listening?  What's the point of prayer?  What's the point of an invocation?  I'm sure Joe Nelms would not pray this way at every event he's asked to invocate, but wasn't it clever, and hasn't it accomplished what he hoped to accomplish – to give something memorable?  And, ought he not to be thankful for all those things?
