The invitation read, “In honor of the President of the United States and Mrs. Reagan, the Vice-President of the United States and Mrs. Bush, the Committee for the 50th American Presidential Inaugural requests the honor of your company at the Inaugural Ball Monday evening the Twenty First of January One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighty Five. Black Tie.” What an honor, what a special invitation, and what a place of respect it is to be invited to the inauguration of a President of the United States. Oh, yes the example was for President Reagan, but it was the only one easily found, but the idea is to think about what a marvelous invitation this would be to receive.
However, most people will never receive the Presidential Inaugural Ball invitation. Most will never worry about the special attire or the proper protocol to attend such an event, and most will never know the travel, the time, the partying or the cuisine of the evening. No, the basic idea is there are manifold more unspoken, “You are not invited” notices when it comes to the Presidential Inaugural Ball, and if a person attends one in a lifetime he or she is considered very special.
What if there was an invitation to meet with a person who is superior to the President? What if this person was the King of all Kings, and what if he was the Lord of all Lords? What if this invitation was extended to everyone and there was no specific demand for dress code, time or proper protocol to attend? What if the only requirement was to believe in a sacrificial act he performed for all, and what if the only requirement was to accept his invitation? Indeed the honor of this invitation would excel them all, and the respect extended would be beyond any given among men. For those who seek it, there is such an invitation, and for those who receive it, there is a Ball of all Balls to attend. In fact, you're already invited. Will you attend? Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
