The Rodeo

I've always enjoyed going to the rodeo. Spending time with my sister and/or friends, eating funnel cake with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup (it is sooooooo good), seeing what the different vendors have for sale (I bought something but I'll get to that later), watching the cowboys in the rodeo (enough said) and you can't forget the little kids riding the sheep. However, the best thing about last night was seeing a brother in Christ being so open about his faith.

Ever since I heard "Long Black Train," I've really liked Josh Turner. It's a great country song with a Christian message. The same can be said about "Me and God" although that is even more Christian. He has a beautiful voice and, let's just face it, the man is gorgeous. However after last night, it's pretty safe to say that he has become one of my favorite artists if not the top one. He had the courage to stand in his faith and sing this beautiful song.

The Answer

If you're lookin' for somebody you can talk to
When the heartache and the troubles overcome you
There's a man you can count on
That you can put your problems on

You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
For a lover and an understander
Jesus is the answer

You're out there wonderin' what got you into such a big ol' mess
You've been feelin' so undeserving of forgiveness
But there's a King upon a throne
That lets you know you're not alone

You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
He's an anchor, He's God's right-hander
Jesus is the answer

Sometimes life is a no-win situation
But get down on your knees
And He'll be right there waitin'

You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
He's a lover and an understander
He's an anchor, He's God's right-hander
Jesus is the answer
Jesus is the answer

What was just as wonderful was the reception the song received. The first time he sang Jesus is the answer, there was cheering and applause. Not from the whole audience but there was a lot. What makes it even better is that it was the last song he sang before the one encore song. Is there a better way to end a concert? I don't think so.

Now onto what I bought. Recently I've been thinking about buying a new purse and last night I found one. I spent just over $30 on a hand-made purse from Guatemala. How cool is that? Also, I am expanding my horizan just a little bit with this purse...well minus the purple.
