Toby Mac Concert

On Saturday September 24th Mike and I went to the Toby Mac concert in Redmond, WA. It was pretty cool. He was joined by his old DC Talk buddies Michael Tait and Kevin Max. They all did their own solo stuff and then finally did 2 songs together at the very end. I just love going to Christian concerts and have been to quite a few over the years. It always is so encouraging to be together with thousands of Christians in one spot to have fun together and praise God at the same time.

I have to admit that it is a little weird now that I am older and not in high school and college anymore. I look around at all the people who came to the concert. This concert was actually very diverse in age. There was everything from infants to over 50. There were quite a few families that came together. The parents in their 30's and 40's and kids in elementary through high school. There was one family in front of us that I could not help but notice. I kept thinking that it was what my family could look like in a few years. The mom and dad were there with their 2 sons. The parents were just as excited, if not more, to be there as the kids were. They were clapping and singing along and dancing the whole time. They seemed to know every word to every song and tried to be as cool as possible. I started realizing that once you get older you just can't help but look a little weird and dorky. I guess that is in my future too. I hope that I am a cool parent when my kids get older, but even if I am not I still want to have fun and enjoy being with my kids.

But the concert was good. Not quite as good as the last one we went to with Third Day and Toby Mac, but it was cool to see all 3 guys from DC Talk together. That doesn't happen very often! I look forward to the next concert we get to go to. Maybe I can stay young a little while longer.
