Tennessee General Assembly video from the May 20, 2011 Senate Session of the thirty-eighth legislative day documenting the newly selected TNGA Senate Speaker Pro Tempore Foy "Bo" Watson leading the Tennessee Senate in a sectarian prayer.  Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey indistinctly addresses Watson as "Minister of the Day".

TNGA Senator Bo Watson will take over the reigns of "Speaker Pro Tem" in the Senate July 1, 2011 from Senator Jamie Woodson.

The "Speaker Pro Tem" chairs the Senate during sessions in chamber when the Lt. Governor is away from the Tennessee state capitol.

Watson joins other Hamilton County residents, like Deputy Governor Claude Ramsey and House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick, in positions of influence in the state of Tennessee. 

This video is part of a planned "Sectarian Prayer Within the Church of the Tennessee Senate" video series.

Matthew 6:5-8 King James Version (KJV)
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
