The Weekend Update...

It's been a while since I've blogged so I thought that I'd share a few highlights of the weekend...

I spent Friday night with some good friends on a thing we call the Texas Tour. A couple years ago a good friend of mine, and fellow student minister, started this weekly ritual for Fall Friday nights called the Texas Tour. A few guys get together each week for a road trip to find some good football. The goal: Simple. To watch some of the best players, teams, and games in the state of Texas. We spent Friday night watching Liberty Hill and Wimberly...It was an ok game, but a great time of fellowship, sharing old frienships and investing in new ones.

Sunday night was definitely the highlight of the weekend. My wife and I, along with some good friends and a couple of our students, headed to Stubbs in Austin, TX to hear Lindsey Kane in concert at her CD Release party for the new CD. What an awesome night! First of all, Lindsey is an incredibly talented artist and a fantastic worship leader. My ministry has been blessed by her willingness to serve and be used by God in such incredible ways...Then there's Stubbs. What a great Austin-ny kind of place...I know that's not a real word, but it best describes Stubbs...It's a great live music venue with a charisma and personality all its own. Lindsey Kane and her band rocked it out too...The music was great and Lindsey always has a great, hilarious, funny, authentic, real feel on stage. But the highlight of the evening for me came in the middle of the set...In the middle of Austin, TX, in a place like Stubbs, built for honky-tonkin' and having a good time, God showed up. In the midst of a CD Release party where everyone was having a great time, worship occurred. And Stubb's was turned into a sanctuary. Right in the middle of the set, Lindsey led us all in How Great Thou Art and what happened in that place was nothing short of worship...It was incredible. Linsdey is one of those artist's whose raw authenticity, incredible talent, and availability to God allows for those types of God-moments to take place when she's on stage...It was definitely the highlight of the weekend, and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.
