A Third Day Concert at West Point For Me......

Lauren and Alison, we also enjoyed dinner at Eisenhower Hall before heading in. For those of you who've never heard of Third Day, they are a contemporary Christian Rock group who have been around for about 17 years. The lead singer has a voice similar to the singer from Hootie & The Blow Fish, a real strong, soulful voice. An Australian band, Revive, opened up for them as well as Brandon Heath, another contemporary Christian singer. This was Lauren and Alison's first "real" concert and they had a blast. We were up singing, clapping and dancing nearly the whole time. The concert was Christ centered with the leader singer, Mac Powell, giving a clear Gospel message. It was also moving to hear each group pay respect to this country and to those serving in the Armed Forces. With all the garbage out there I can't tell you how refreshing it was to be able to go to a concert with no worries about lyrics, wardrobe or even the concert goers, it was truly a family concert with all ages represented, as a matter of fact the two couples sitting behind us were somewhere in their sixties up clapping and singing the whole time too.

I found this clip of Third Day on the Craig Ferguson Show singing their cover song, Revelation:




Time spent with anyone of the kids is a great-time and this time was no different--Thanks girls :)

P.S. Pictures coming soon.
