Guess what? I got to ask Matthew West the first question! He even called me by name. So cool.
I asked him if he planned to make another CD with stories from around the country like he did for his last CD. He said, it's a little known fact that he IS going to do that again. He said he'll ask again in January to have your write your story and send it to him.
Last year he did this thinking he'd get maybe 200 or so responses. He got 10,000 letters! He took two months in a cabin in the woods to read the letters and finally write the songs for his CD from stories in the letters.
Sarah and Lindsey stood in the line to get their picture taken with both artists and got their autographs. I will post that probably tomorrow when I can get ahold of them. Matthew West is such a goofball. He is an ordinary guy with highs and lows like the rest of us. He has a great sense of humor and loves to make people laugh.
Mandisa is a wonderful compliment to Matthew West. She is full of energy, humor and loves to dance. The performances were amazing. They did separate songs with their own bands, then did several songs together. There were sing alongs and also some serious cry out to God time. It's so good to get past all the masks that we wear and get real with God. Many tears, but very worthwhile.
Here are a few pictures taken in our meet and greet.
Here's a song from Matthew West's Christmas album. It's a song about the day AFTER Christmas.
The Light of the World is STILL here...............love that line in the song.
Here are a few cards I got for my birthday which is Tuesday. I also got a Christmas card.
Blessings,

Wow! What an opportunity to see Matthew West and Mandisa!!! So glad you had a great time. Matthew seems like an ordinary guy when you watch him talk on video. I bet you didn't want that night to end.
Happy Birthday, too!
