Kim Collingsworth is so nice!!!!!
Angie had the fantastic idea of going to see the Collingsworth Familly who played tonight in Sun City. I'm not a big Southern Gospel fan, but since a group of us were going, I thought it would be fun to a)fellowship in the Lord, and b)add a new entry to my social roster, which for the most part consists of cruising the shower curtain aisle at Target and stalking former high school aquaintances on Facebook.
As I mentioned earlier, the concert was held in the pulsating, bustling, metropolis of Sun City, otherwise known as Oldville. For those of you not familiar with Arizona, Sun City is where people go when they retire. It's life's final course at the metaphorical cafeteria before the check comes in, if you get my meaning. Anyway, it was a tad disconcerting to walk into the church and see mostly the same demographic one would envision at a shuffle board tournament or an Andy Griffith-a-thon. Nonetheless, I figuratively squared my shoulders, thinking that I would at least get to hear songs about God and hopefully feel his presence. And ya know what? I had a great time! I really enjoyed the music. I've heard of people feeling the Lord at concerts, but that hadn't happened to me before this. And Courtney sang one of my favorite songs, "I Can Trust Jesus." All in all, I had a blast. So much so that I was tempted to play hooky from church this Sunday to see them again in Queen Creek. But I love Jesus, and don't want to hurt his feelings. So I will savor the memories of tonight instead.
Besides feeling God's presence, I really enjoyed talking to Kim Collingsworth afterwards. She is so sweet! After performing and sharing your heart in a concert, it would be understandable to not feel sociable afterwards. But she chatted away, and let us all take pictures with her(I will post those after I get copies from Angie)Overall, one of the best Friday nights I have had in a while.
Thanks Jesus!
