A few weeks ago I was on facebook & noticed an ad for a free concert, which I’m usually up for, if the talent’s there. I click, & see that it’s Shane Barnard, of one of my fave musician groups, Shane & Shane, along with his wife (since 3/’08) singer/song writer, Bethany Dillon.

We get a sitter, drive about 30 mi.s, & walk into the cafeteria of a middle school where a church (ecclesiaaustin) meets. Apparently, they’re friends of the pastor, so just decided to do a special night of music there, for free. CAN’T beat that. There wasn’t even a “love offering” taken for traveling expenses, & a smelly Shane B barely made three flights to get there on time.

They weren’t prepared – never had time to rehearse – but still sounded super together… told funny stories, exchanged flirty glances & must’ve said the word “awkward” 6 times. It was aaawe, cute!

Their 1st set included combined originals like Yearn, Vision of You, Let Your Light Shine, & When You Love Someone (which she wrote about him). They tried to take requests, but that didn’t turn out so well, forgetting lyrics & all. It was so funny.

Part II of the concert was a worship set, which my husb. was able to get a pretty good recording of, w/his iphone. 1st row seats has its advantages! I was in tears. God was there. Afterward, I stuck around for a minute & met Shane. We talked for a few. He told me the new (S&S) album will come out early Novem. so I’ll be all over that. I already know three new songs from it now!

The 1st newby is, Turn Down the Music…written about one of my favorite passages of scripture, Matthew 25: 34-43 – choosing to hear & see the hurting all around us, & when we feel helpless on their behalf, just continue to worship the Lord. Below, you can watch S&S workin’ out another new one i just love, with chords/ lyrics to ponder; it’s called, “Everything’s Different”.

I was so happy to sit 1st row w/my sweet love, Ricky, at such an intimate venue…to listen to really great talent from a couple in love with each other & with their God. All the glory was HIS. You don’t get that kind of date night often.
