Night with a lover

That's probably a strange title about a night out to c2g in Fort Wayne. It had been awhile since we'd been there. Man... and every time I go I end up drooling over their set-up and all the lights and equipment and stuff that they have. But anyway...

Last night we went to see Dave Frincke in concert. I believe he is the worship leader at c2g. This pic is the cover of his latest cd. We've seen/heard him play a time or three at open mic nights, but never a concert. I always liked what he had to *say* as much as his singing, so I wanted to go - because God knows I needed to hear some positive thoughts from a Christian perspective. And Dave delivered big time.

Here is a guy who sang and talked almost exclusively for over an hour about nothing but the wonder and greatness of God, and his love for Jesus. Sometimes people like that can really rub me the wrong way - you know, wanna make you puke. But Dave is such a humble guy, and he has this infectious smile that just sort of sucks you in. He's also a whale of a musician/songwriter. It was just so very refreshing to spend an evening with someone so in love with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, his family, his church, people in general, and life itself. He even gushed about his dog and cat (with pictures, of course).

Some of my thoughts while listening:
- The visuals playing on the screen add so much to a performance (when done right).
- I wish I could forget all the "business stuff" I have to deal with, and just concentrate on Christ.
- I wish I had a worship leader like Dave. Someone who had no agenda, no bone to pick with anyone, but just loved God and wanted to help others fall in love with him too.
- I'd like to get Dave to come and do a concert at our church sometime (just can't stop thinking business).
- There was other stuff, but... you know, gotta watch what you say.

All in all, a nice night. Thanks Dave, for pointing me toward the One you're in love with.
