Michael W. Smith!

WOW! What a great concert! I wanted to name the heading something else other than his name because it was very obvious that tonight was not about him but about Jesus Christ and living out the Christian life. It was great to hear old songs that I was very familiar with as well as some new stuff. I even got to hear at least a part of my favorite song from him, "Let It Rain." I couldn't believe I was in the midst of all those believers lifting praise to God and listening to Michael lead us in worship. Never thought that would happen in my lifetime. It was wonderful to say the least! I thought of my sister when he came back out on the stage after saying his goodbye's but having to come back because the cheering never stopped and he closed with "Friends are Friends Forever." My sister and I sang that at our grandmother's memorial service-- brought back a few memories.
I think of all the fun things I have done while in NJ, this concert is among the top three along with seeing Chris Tomlin and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. More great stuff to come I'm sure.
God is so good to me! All praise to Him!
