Katie and I went to Andrew Peterson's Behold The Lamb of God last night. It was the most amazing Christmas program I have ever been to, and yet, it was the simplest. All it is is about 13 musicians on the stage singing songs that tell the story of Christ's birth. It starts in the Old Testament and ends with the birth of Jesus in 12 songs. Andrew Peterson wrote these songs when he was in college and has been traveling around doing this for the past 7 years I think. Each year he has a couple of special guests and this year it is Bebo Norman and Sara Groves. They aren't what makes this so wonderful though. It is so focused on God that you really forget about who is singing and you find yourself enthralled with this wonderful story that you have heard a hundred times. It is coming to Alabama Monday, December 10th in Huntsville and Tuesday, December 11th in Birmingham. Yeah, I know it is short notice but I think that everybody in the area should go. Katie and I drove an hour to see it and it was well worth it. Even for those of you in Talladega...GO TO BIRMINGHAM!!!!!! It will be worth it. It is very inexpensive. I tried to put a video on here but I am not that fancy yet so go to this link and see a video of one of my favorite songs. There are many other videos to check out too. I can not express enough how everybody should see this show. It reminds us why we even celebrate to begin with. It is not about presents, Christmas trees, and pretty decorations. It is about remembering the day that our savior came into this world to die for our sins so we did not have to.
