About 2 weeks ago I went up to Stillwater, OK with 19 other college buddies and Diane Willis, our campus minister, to attend OCSC (Oklahoma Catholic Student Conference) at OSU. We had great times!! However, on the way back, Diane took Karen, Dutch, and I on a little detour...
To see Christian music artist and Catholic singer Matt Maher with his band!!! He was doing the closing praise and worship service for a Baptist youth rally in Tulsa, and the wonderful people allowed us to sneak in and attend the service too!
First though, we encountered a cool penguin. I think he might have been outside of a veterinary hospital.
A band member, playing on a really cool looking guitar.
Diane sitting all by herself in the front row...waiting for Matt Maher to come back and getting really excited! Ahhh!
There he is! There is Matt Maher...like 20 feet in front of us doing praise and worship to God!!
Here is a shot of their quad
After the praise and worship was over, the pastor of the church gave a sermon (pretty good one) and then everyone ended up leaving the room to go to a seperate room and give testimonies. We stayed behind, feeling a bit out of place perhaps, and hoping to personally meet Matt. But he left with the crowd!....
We had nearly despaired, when suddenly, the band reemerged!! So in the end, we each actually shook the guy's hand, said hi, and then shuffled sheepishly out. (Diane got an autograph.)
Anyway, it was pretty darn sweet. It was like a private concert, or maybe you could compare it to a private audience with the Pope....no, maybe not. But now I can say that I have met Matt Maher!
PS: Matt Maher is pretty cool guy and Christian artist, but I still like Steve Angrisano better, personally;)
Okay girls, so...I have had request(s) that I put up pictures of my "stylin" my haircut. Now I finally have! They aren't the best pics, but they give you an idea.
