Best . Concert . Ever

What a fantastic night we had! We left here at 4 pm to avoid traffic. Our good friend had come over in the afternoon so her son could have a violin lesson, then she took the girls home with her. They had so much fun, and we were thankful she was willing to watch them for 7 hours!

Anyway, we got to the concert venue early and met up with our Compassion contact. It was fun to meet some new people who work for Compassion. Compassion folks are like a big family and it's such a blessing (to me) to meet new folks who are passionate about Compassion's ministry.

We waited....and waited....and waited. We were supposed to get a few minutes before the official meet and greet. But this was the first night of the tour and things were running a bit behind. We were still first in line and although we only literally got a few minutes, it was great.

We saw Michael first, and Amy followed a couple seconds later. When she first stood there, I got a little overwhelmed and almost cried, but I took a deep breath and was fine.

The concert itself was so good. There was no opening act, just Amy and Michael for 3 hours. The did a lot of old songs - together and alone. I love, love, love Amy.....but when Michael was playing I realized that I listen to him more regularly.

This one is blurry, but it's the best I could get (when my flash is off, a motion sensor comes on and any movement causes blurriness). This is when they were talking about Compassion - it was a great presentation.

Getting good pictures of Michael W Smith was much harder....this is the only non-blurry one I got.

Michael did quite a few worship songs and it was powerful. He's such a good musician, and it was amazing to hear him live. Of course they ended the concert with "Friends".

I have quite a few videos, but am having trouble loading them. Here's one...I'll try later to load some more. If I get them to load, they will post under this post, so scroll down.
