Casting Crowns

Fifteen of our college/career group went to a Casting Crowns concert in St. Charles, MO last night. We left around 2:30 (which it was supposed to be 1:30, but we are talking about West Point here). So when we got to St Louis, they still wanted to eat...though we called for reservations and were let right in...it still took some time for the food to arrive. Therefore, we were late to the concert. We arrived as Building 249 was playing, and when we finally made it to our seats (bathroom break first), Casting Crowns had already taken the stage. But the concert was good (though a lot of their songs have the word 'rain' in them); I really enjoyed it. Tony Lenon spoke during the concert about L.I.F.T. bracelets, then went back into a couple more songs. We left a little after 10:00 for our trip home, w/ a stop at Krispy Kreme (YUM!!), and no other stops (sorry for those that had to go to the restroom) until we arrived back in Doniphan around 3:00-ish.

We had a lot of fun, Elmer was practicing for the drivers test of 'big' rigs in the concert parking lot. We were weaving in/out of the big orange cones. Billy saved the day for the rest of the group by standing up on the van and hollering, 'West Point over here', so they could find our van in the parking lot after the concert. And the woman with the 'MEDICAL EMERGENCY' made it easy for us to make it out of the crowd after the concert. Now if we should have played train behind the wheelchair welding lady and went in the 'space' she created by shouting 'Please MOVE, I have a MEDICAL EMERGENCY', who knows...it cut down on our crowd time and it we made it outside really quickly. We had a lot of fun and I think that is what really matters.
