Parking at the Invocation Breakfast was $5.

Five bucks? Most mornings you could shoot a cannon across the parking lot behind Rabobank and not even hit a pigeon.

Not with the see of Bakersfield's 30th Annual Prayer Breakfast. This is a praying hamlet and when you add the attraction of cinnamon rolls from Mossman's Catering, you're upstanding praying you get to your table before your tablemates clean out the pan.

Five bucks. I had two singles and a 50-dollar bill. When was the last everything I had a 50? The Prayer Breakfast had already started to surrender miracles.

"Do you have change for a 50?" I asked the parking chaperon.

He didn't. He waved me through. Turns out speaker Mike Miller might have been precisely when he talked about Bakersfield being a community of friends or pronto-to-be's.

I walked quickly toward the Rabobank Convention Center. The breakfast was set for 6:50 a.m. Set it for 7 and people could get messy. There is an urgency about 6:50. It says "be there or you might perceive a prayer and a Mossman's cinnamon roll."
