Israel and Tomlin, with friends

Levi and I braved the impending winter storm to take in the Israel Houghton/Chris Tomlin concert tonight at the BJC.  We had great seats, right behind the sound board, next to Adam and Ed.  It was a cool thing to worship with them tonight.

I think that’s the thing that I liked the most about the night–it wasn’t really a show as much as it was a worship experience.  Of course, there was a ton of sound and lights, but from the outset it was clear that Israel and Tomlin wanted to lead us in worship.  And there were some poignant moments for me tonight.

We saw lots of folks from church there, which was pretty cool.  But the highlight was singing to Jesus at the top of my lungs, with my teenaged son matching me note for note!

For me, that’s a pretty sweet thing.

Of course, we got home just before 11, and he’s praying for a snow day, or at least a delay in the morning.
