BEST EVER prayer before a sporting event!

[salsadancer7]

I am not a very religious guy, but I thought this is the best thing I have ever heard before any sporting event other than the Chicago Bulls intro during their championship years in the 90s. I thought it was so cool that I could not stop laughing.

Best prayer EVER! Pastor Joe Nelms – Nascar Nationwide – Nashville, TN

Now THAT is what a call having fun before a sporting event and bring smiles to people's faces!

If that won't bring on a smile I don't know what will. That was great....

He forgot to pray for Dale Jr. to win a championship. But that was fun to listen to.

Absolutely!

Awesome! Thanks, Salsa!

It was different and that's all I am going to say.

I liked it because it made it's point without getting to preachy. AND it got the mainstream media involved without having to go to sunday school.

Sorry, and not to be insulting to anyone who likes what the guy said, but I think he is a buffoon. Thanks for my smokin' hot wife? Seriously?

I think his church got a nice donation. Sounds like a commercial

Why not? Especially if he indeed has one! They guy is as huge as a defensive tackle....he should be thanking "the good Lord" on an hourly basis if that is the case.....lol!

I too thought the pastor sounded like a Buffoon! He should have merely given thanks and praise in a respectful manner and been done with it. Instead, he came across as both a racing spokesman and a braggart. Funny? Sure! But not very appropriate.

Since the topic of "Best Prayer" was brought up...

A better prayer would have been something like, "Good God, let's get the hell out of here and go see a real sport...you know, one that involves athletes and not a drive around in circles! Better yet, have the drivers get their arses out of their cars and run 200-laps around the track. Now that would be a sport!"

I've got nothing against NASCAR (or Indy Car Racing for that matter) but auto racing not a sport nor is it a sporting event...it's an activity just like Poker or Scrabble. I'm just stating a fact and not offering this up as a topic for debate.
