this is not a lullaby.

so, the weepies did not disappoint. the show started at 7:30 without an opening band, and we were leaving eugene by 9:00. it was just the perfect amount of concert goodness. like eating a delicious meringue chantilly, licking the plate, and being fully satisfied. and because it's so rich, sweet, and beautiful you don't want another bite, you just want to dwell in the feeling of what you just experienced. it was like that.
during a quiet moment when deb was getting a drink of water on stage, steve broke the silence by saying "how hard is it to just be nice to everybody?"
i like that.

but the concert has me thinking. i'd been waiting three years to see the weepies, and when they came on stage, i was so excited that i squeezed landon's hand for a good while into their first song. all the anticipation now being fulfilled was overwhelming. then i wondered, should this be our attitude toward heaven?
the feeling of "ahh, yes, this is what i've been waiting for!"
singing along shamelessly, because we're all there for the same reason
stomping for an encore, because we can't get enough
closing our eyes to enjoy the beauty of the moment
i'll admit that i rarely yearn for heaven, but i think i've caught a glimpse into what my heart should be saying about it.
xoxo.
