Peter J. Daniels opens the Friday afternoon session with a personal story. At 3am the night before, something shifted his entire talk. He celebrates a family member's new chapter and insists everyone in the room has a role to play.
How are you tonight? Thank you so much for coming tonight. This is a night that I personally have never wanted to see. Many can ask the question why it is that I wouldn't want to have a night like this, A night that is very salubrious. A night that we come together to be able to celebrate someone that is as near to me and dear to me as is. But the true reason why that it's difficult for me is because I realize that it is during these moments and at this time that I now need to change my posture. Because each and every one of us plays a part. Each and every one of us fills a role. And tonight I will see my father move in a direction for his future. And I, and all of you will have the opportunity to move toward yours. Last night at 3am I. I thought that soon enough I was going to be able to go to sleep. But at that time, God began to deal with me and changed completely everything that I wanted to say to you. I want to allow you to take a few moments with me and just go to that place.
