The first gift is the picture itself. I was bold enough to ask a complete stranger to send me a digital print of pictures he was taking at the concert. He was prompt and I have four beautiful pictures from the evening.
The gift was the concert. We were having a nice lazy Saturday. I had just come in from a walk and was perusing the paper. Under 'Religion Calendar' I came upon a Spiritual Renewal Conference. In reading the details I discovered that one of our favorite Christian artists was to be in Seattle in just 3 hours. I looked at David, and said, "Do you want to go?" We kicked ourselves into a higher gear and drove north.
We spent the evening in a small venue at a congregation just south of Seattle. We worshiped with Michael Card and three young Music Ministers from Presbyterian churches in the area. We were amazed at the intimacy of the evening. Michael has some new songs out on lament. The area music ministers have written new songs for Lent and shared those in the second half. We just had an amazing evening.
