Miriam and I enjoyed our Free Slurpee celebrating 7/11 day on our way to the Shawn Groves Concert (sans the kids - hallelujah!). I’ll have to say that at first I was disappointed that more people weren’t there, but by the end of the night, when all was said and done, that small crowd had signed up to sponsor 22 Compassion International children. Even one of our youth (non-churched, mind you, and whom I’m very, very proud of) decided to give some things up so she can support a child in Uganda. The bands were great, Shawn is an entertaining speaker - it was a great night all around!

That’s my weekend so far… how’s  yours going?

Anyone in the North Seattle area (or willing to drive) - there’s a free concert this Friday (July 11, 2008 @ 6pm) featuring Shaun Groves, Brett Hite and Catalyst. It should be a sweet time with great music. All of this is possible because of Mudpuppy. He sent me info about booking Shaun on his Compassion Intl’ Tour. I passed it along to a friend and their church booked him. I’m totally stoked. You may have heard of Shaun, but Brett and Catalyst are great band if you haven’t experienced them as well.

The concert is put on by Crossroads Fellowship Church and sponsored by Compassion Intl.

If you ‘re driving, take I-5 north to the Smokey Point Blvd exit (#206). Take a right and the concert is under the big top across from the Safeway (3905 172nd St NE Arlington, WA 98223).

Hope to see you there!
