BlindSide and FishFest

Seeing the movie "The Blind Side" and going to FishFest were enjoyable outlets for me this weekend.

"The Blind Side" was a touching movie with a reminder to care for the needs around us and to try to bring out the best in others when we look past the surface.   It was neat to see that what made Michael Oher such a good football player, aside from his physical size and strength, was his protective instinct.  One of the most moving moments in the movie was after the car accident when we learn that Michael protected SJ from the air bag with his own hands.

My favorite artist at FishFest this year was Jeremy Camp.  I also enjoyed listening to Brandon Heath and Toby Mac; but, to me Jeremy stood out.  His music is good, and he also has the ability to create an attitude of worship, even in a big outdoor arena like the Verizon amphitheater.  It was interesting though, that the song I most enjoyed was not even one of his own, but it was when he led us in worship singing "Mighty to Save".  What a great worship song!
