Last Night's Concert

I had the pleasure of attending the John Tesh concert last night here in B-town. Some of you may not know this, but the concert was done to benefit the B-town Schools Social Work Office, which is where I play secretary during the school year. Each year, we have a Christmas Assistance Program that sponsors needy B-town school children who may not have a Christmas otherwise. All proceeds of the concert and merchandise sales were donated to our program by John Tesh. His ministry is really great, and it's so refreshing to see a celebrity lead a purpose-driven life.

I urge you to visit his website, Tesh.com when you have some time. It has wisdom for living, humor, good music, etc. You might find it interesting. Last night, I purchased 2 of his CDs (a.k.a. donated $40 to MY office, heh), and one of them is just worship music. I felt like I'd been to church last night, and that was great. He challenged all of us to find a ministry somehow, whether it be starting out small with, for example, visiting a nursing home or buying groceries for someone in need, or doing something on a larger scale, if we have the means, like producing a charity concert. Although my job solely pertains to assisting those in need, I could do more than just my 7:30 to 4, 42 weeks a year. I am blessed by helping people, and am a better person for it. It gets my focus away from self which can be very difficult for most people. In helping others, we are truly living, making it possible for them to lead better lives, and enriching our own lives in the process.

Free t-shirts were thrown into the audience last night anytime he mentioned Tesh.com. I caught the last one thrown! Woohoo! You can ask Kailey about her Snoop Teshy Tesh shirt she now has. Who knew that John Tesh was such a good beatboxer for a tall, white guy who used to host Entertainment Tonight? Heh.
