I support this decision- Our U.S. Congress holds invocation with their own Chaplains, Moses and the 10 Commandments are on the Supreme Court building, and it's been our country's tradition to hold and support invocation before session. It's their right, and it's upheld everyday by our Constitution.  Only nasty atheists and Leftists believe this distracts from official duties- it doesn't.  No one can tell you not to pray, assembly- I applaud your stance and wish you well in asking for direction and contemplation by your higher power, whatever that may be.
