Concert

So tonight my husband and I were going to have a date night and go to to the winter jam concert in Tulsa. First of all we are stingy with our kids and keep them most of the time so we don't take date nights. Second of all I said we were.... We got to the bok center and it was raining. There were thousands of people standing outside waiting. We got there a couple hours early before show time but some people had been there for many hours. There were tons of youth groups from churches. It was amazing to see all the young teens that were worshiping God. There were families worshiping together. Groups of friends. Just a very diverse group of people. Then they began letting in small groups of people at a time. Then at show time they come out side and said the fire Marshall said we can't go in cause they were at capacity. We were all kind of let down after all we were freezing and wet but nobody moved. Then a man from the winter jam tour came outside and said for who ever wants to stay they will have the same singers come outside and do a special concert. It was amazing that they realized we were all here to worship and we appreciate what all these Christian artists do so they were going to say thanks. The first artist came out. He played a great set. We were all singing along. Even though it was pouring rain we didn't care. We had our arms in the air. Until.... Fire Marshall came outside. He said we can't have an outside concert. What? Who are we hurting? Lots of people had left. There were probably just a few hundred people outside now. Anyways police showed up and made us leave. So I was really annoyed with the bok center tonight in Tulsa but really impressed with all the amazing people who stuck it out in the cold and rain just to hear a few songs. We worshiped on the steps of the bok center with complete strangers. Even though we missed the concert it was still an uplifting night!
