Going Beyond - Austin
Melanie - July 3, 2009
Last Friday, my best friend, Gulley, and I headed to Austin to go hear Priscilla Shirer at Great Hills Baptist Church. We had been excited about the prospect for months because not only were we excited to hear Priscilla, but for the chance to spend a little girl time together without our kids. It's amazing the conversations you can have when you don't have little people interrupting you every three seconds to tell on each other.
On the way there, we decided to go eat a late dinner at Z. Tejas after the event was over because it has always been one of our favorite restaurants. However, once we got to the hotel around 4:00 p.m., we agreed we were both already hungry and didn't know if we could wait until 9:30 to eat dinner.
I said, "Well, we could go to Z. Tejas right now instead of later?"
And Gulley, not skipping a beat, replied, "Ewww. That's lame."
So, not wanting to appear lame, we grabbed a small snack and then went to Z. Tejas at 9:30 Friday night and ate way too much delicious food.
The next morning Gulley said her stomach hurt from eating all that food so late and she really needed a Zantac.
Yeah. Who's lame now?
In other news from the weekend, I'll tell you who wasn't lame.
Anthony is Priscilla's brother and he and his praise team led worship for the Going Beyond event. It was amazing. Anthony and his team did such a phenomenal job of preparing our hearts for the words Priscilla was going to share.
And as much as I was ready to hear Priscilla speak, I was sad when it was time for worship to be over because I loved listening to Anthony sing as the women in the sanctuary worshiped.
Here's Anthony.
I took that picture after I walked up to him and said, "Hi. I blog for LifeWay. Can I take your picture? I promise I'm not a stalker."
Which you know in his mind translated to "Hi. I'm a stalker who is creative enough to make up something about a blog."
And just so you can hear a little bit of Anthony for yourself, here's a short video that I took during worship. I apologize in advance for the horrendous quality, but my videographer skills are limited at best and unbearably horrible at worst.
