Been visiting friends. Long conversations, laughter, barbeque, a nap, and sleeping in on Monday morning. Of course, now it is Tuesday, and I'm doing the very opposite of sleeping in.
Driving home yesterday was just perfect. Timed to miss Nashville rush hour traffic, windows down for fall's great wind, smooth road, listening to Bebo's new cd as he's playing here on Wednesday, not thinking of anything in particular, just driving. Knowing how to get home without looking at the map. Some praying.
Posted by mike at September 28, 2004 05:00 AMmike/jeep - thanks for your recent post on the whole finding someone thing. i spent the last five days at the national youthworker's convention (where bebo was supposed to play, but he had to cancel because he was very sick on his return from africa - i hope he can still make the concert there on wednesday) and the obsession with finding someone hit hard. i remembered your words, about how you want to ask God to show you your someone, and if it's Jesus that will be alright, even if you cry for awhile. this weekend was lots of crying for me. but hopefully, the healing kind of crying.
anyway - thanks for your writing. it helped me.

Posted by: bob at September 30, 2004 10:19 AMBebo was good, even though he had too many opening acts (3 in all!) and really didn't play for very long. But the band was great, and the songs they played on really translated well to a 'powered-up' setting. They had some vari-lites and some smoke happening, and it was good fun. There was one song, I can't remember which one where he was really reachin' for the notes and should have figured out a different way to sing, but overall everything was good. He made the usual self-deprecating jokes about colouring his hair and getting his nails done. And of course, he did the whole "I'm married now, life is SO DIFFERENT" thing.
