Shawn McDonald Concert

Youth Group went to see Shawn McDonald in downtown Naperville. He was great as usual. He is so good with song writing, expressing His walk with God, but doing it with great music. I think we all felt that there was quite a strong presence of Christ.Anyway, even though it is long, I must share the story of
how we ended up getting to the concert.We started out our treck to Naperville by loading into the Church van. It was pouring outside, and it was hard to see outside. We knew we were in for some traffic, but as soon as we got on the highway, it was a dead stop. 1:35 minutes later, we find ourselves at a parking garage in Naperville, following the directions we were given. Yet, where in the world is this college that the concert is? We found a map and realized we were a couple blocks away. Drive there? The students insisted otherwise, so we walked. We walked three blocks, and the rain picked up, and we started to get quite saturated. Then, as we are at a street corner, a car goes through the intersection and sprays four of our high schoolers. Completely saturated, we continue walking and find the college. Still no sign of the Union, we ask around, getting unclear and contradictory directions. Finally, someone sends us in a different direction. As we walk down the street another couple blocks in the pouring rain, we come up on, what else, the parking garage that we started at! I got a call from someone we know at the concert and finds out, it is sold out! Since we came so far already, we decided that we would try to find it still and hope that they would let us in. In desperation, we ask one more person and he directs us a half a block from the garage we started at to a small building....so we got there, about an hour and a half late. But they let us in and we got to see most of Shawn McD.
