Jesus Freaks and playas

This weekend during a break in the incessant rain, I was able to catch Cece Winans and Steven Curtis Chapman at the DC Festival. Imagine, praise time led by Steven and his band, with the backdrop of the Capitol literally before us surrounded by thousands of “Jesus Freaks” crying out to God…. It was so good to be there.

Right in front of me during the concert, stood an elderly couple. They were clapping along and enjoying the event with the rest of the crowd. And when Steven took the stage, the old gentleman started to bust out his moves and show the younger audience members how its really done :) When I reach his age, I can relish in the fact that although my dancing will no longer be found at the clubs or lounges- I’m sure I’ll find other opportunities to express myself~

In other news, just the other day, I met a cutie named Max. Oh, what a heartbreaker, he was. I was walking along minding my own business when our eyes locked and he flashed me the most charming smile. I looked behind me just to make sure I was the intended recipient, given I was inside Loehmann’s surrounded by a roomful of other women. Yup, he was looking at me, alright. The stare from his big brown eyes invited me over and had “Ask me my name and …. how old I am” written all over his face And so I did. I introduced myself and found out that Max is in the 2nd grade and he came shopping with his mother :)

Man, if he can get women introducing themselves to him now with one look, imagine the possibilities as he gets older…. a player in training, I tell you. He had my friend and me wrapped around his little finger just like that (*snap*)~ I wouldn’t be surprised if Max grew up to look like this guy…
