On Friday night, we attended our first ever Christian concert in Missoula, MT.It was a two-hour drive over. We arrived at the stadium at 5:15 p.m. Already there was a long line of folks waiting to get into the doors. Luckily, my husband had thought ahead and purchased special "groupie" T-shirts that got us into seating a half hour before everyone else. Kudos to my hubby for that one!
The stadium was filled to capacity at 7,000 audience members before the scheduled start time. Hundreds and Hundreds of folks were turned away at the gate.
We sat in the fourth row, center to the stage. The music was so wonderful! From Christian rock bands to Christian rap group to Praise and Worship songs...thousands of Christians from young to old were raising their arms to Jesus and praising His Holy name!
For five hours we stood and sang and worshipped. And at 11:15 p.m., we finally made our way out of the stadium and to our cold, parked SUV.
It was a very long two-hour drive back home. We're no spring chickens any longer, and we had a difficult time staying awake on that long and dark drive through canyons and mountains.
The next day was worse. Our poor, old bodies felt like they had been run over by a semi truck. In fact, it took us two full days to recover. We're STILL recovering, LOL.
I want to thank the Lord for our fabulous family time together, our safe journey there and back. Amen.
