www.washingtonpost.com/ online posted story excerpt:
NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), seriously injured during the Tucson shooting rampage last month, also spoke briefly at the breakfast and gave the closing prayer.
The National Prayer Breakfast is a decades-old Washington event attended by members of Congress who are in prayer groups, as well as faith activists and professionals from across the spectrum. Presidents have been addressing the largely evangelical group each year since 1953.
In his brief remarks, Kelly said, "I hadn't been a big believer in fate until recently. I thought the world just spins and the clock just ticks and things happen for no particular reason." He said he has come to believe, however, that things happen for a reason, "that maybe something good can come from all of this."
Kelly said his wife's health continues to improve. She was recently moved to a rehabilitation center in Houston.
