Let's Go To Steak n Shake!

One thing I enjoy about singing Gospel music is the fellowship among the various groups. I wrote recently about being able to join with Simple Faith at Sonny's after a recent concert. Many times after concerts, the host church will have a fellowship time so we can get to know our new friends better and renew acquaintances.

There is a church not far from where I live that hosts Southern Gospel concerts during the winter months ~ or Snowbird Season ~ as we refer to it around here. I try to go whenever possible, and make a special effort for certain groups when they are coming our way. Yes, they have the food and fellowship after the concert and it is always such a great time.

I have already looked at this season's schedule and have circled some dates. I'm already looking forward to hearing folks like Tribute Quartet, the Browns, the Nelons, and Great Day. If you read my bio on our website, you'll see two of those listed among my favorites! Yes, I'm already pumped!

One of the things I really enjoy with all of today's technology is being able to keep up with my favorite groups. With Facebook, Twitter, Socialcam, and of course, their websites, it opens a new avenue for building relationships with our brothers and sisters who bring us this great genre of music. I've always been fascinated at learning about life on the road, what they like to do during their rare moments of downtime, and seeing the country through their eyes. Some of them are really great tour guides!

For example, I've learned the Nelons enjoy Steak n Shake. Incidentally, I also really enjoy Steak n Shake! I was thinking about them on my way to work the other night, and looking forward to the upcoming concert. I thought how cool it would be to hang out with Jason, Kelly, and Amber at Steak n Shake after the concert when they're in town. It just so happens that I have to pass our local Steak n Shake on my way to work. Because this was on my mind, I literally got in the turn lane for Steak n Shake instead of passing by. Thankfully, I was jogged back to reality in time to correct myself and clock in at work on time!

So, when the Nelons (or Tribute, or the Browns, or Great Day . . . ) come to Vero in February (or select your month here!), here's your invitation to hang out a little after the concert if you're not pressed to make it somewhere in a hurry! Please know that I appreciate you and your testimony. Keep doing what you're doing for Jesus and building His Kingdom!
