Thursday night Hazel and I went to see Chris Tomlin and Tobymac in concert. I t has been a pretty stressful year regarding Hazels job and my job uncertainty mixed in with church business and family business. It was just nice to have a night out without the kids. We were just sitting back and relaxing eating our $17 in junk food which included the nastiest Diet Pepsi I have ever tasted and crappy individual pizzas from the concession stand. The lights went down and I could feel the excitement just begin to grow. Chris Tomlin began with a rocking version of "Our God" and as the drums and bass picked up with intensity and the guitarist began this beautiful melodic shoe gazer lead I could feel a wave of emotion come over me. The volume of the music and the thunder of beat made me feel like I was in a sauna and all the impurities just started pouring out of my body. I could feel the water in my eyes and I just felt like crying. All the crap from daily life was being sucked out of me. The stress of our jobs, raising two kids, a few marital spats, disagreements with our Church was just being driven out of me. The Holy Spirit just filled the arena and its power was amazing. After about 3 songs I got my composure back and just stood and enjoyed the rest of the Chris Tomlin set. It was a great praise the session. I looked at Hazel and she just had a glow about her face as she danced and clapped and sang.
Tobymac came on and it was just a huge dance party. It was the perfect way to celebrate and enjoy the release of all that flotsam and jetsam in my life
