So for the past few days, I have been in Nashville, TN for the Gospel Music Association Music Week. It has been an exciting few days. The days have been full of different seminars and then the evenings have been lots of concerts. Sunday started out with a morning service lead by Lincoln Brewster. It was awesome. The speaker for the morning was a guy named Joe Myers. He really had some great thoughts on belonging. "You don't choose who belongs to you, they do."
Sunday afternoon, I was relaxing and reading a magazine in the hotel Lobby and who walks in...none other than George Huff. (He was on American Idol a few seasons back) I got to meet him and get a pic with him. He was such a sweet heart.
Sunday Evening Worship was Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder and Louie Giglio. What a fabulous time of worshiping God together. Later that evening was the Songwriters showcase. How cool to get to hear the songwriter sing the songs.
Monday morning started off with a talk by Donald Miller. Always a good thing. and the free book made it even sweeter.
Monday at lunch we were entertained by a long list of artists. You heard it hear first....LEELAND is the next great band. The lead singer is 17 years old and writes awesome music. We also got to walk away with some free CD's.
I skipped the music showcase on Monday night to have dinner with my friend Antonio, or as dear Cindi calls him "Mmaa"--if you want to know why you have to ask me. We had a good time catching up and ate at a great restaurant called "Germantown Cafe" One of the best meals I have ever had.
Tuesday Morning devotions was lead by Margaret Becker. It was interesting to hear how God has worked in her life. and another free book.
Lunch on Tuesday was another opportunity to see some great artists. But before the artist started there was a very special guest. George Bush!!!! Ok, it wasn't really George, it was a look alike. One of my favorite groups Mary, Mary opened the event. Unfortunately, I had to leave early, so I could drive back to Evansville to teach my class. But I walked away with 7 more CD's.
Wednesday, I will be driving back down to Nashville with Summer to go to the finale of the week: "The Dove Awards" I am so excited about this. Our seats are pretty high, but we will still be there.
Of course, if I can figure out pictures on this thing, I will post some of the week.
