// The Politics of Hillsong's Concert

Yesterday night there were three different groups of people. There were the happy, the disappointed, and the frustrated. I was part of that disappointed group since I waited two hours in line to sit in a gym, behind the stage where you could pretty much see the drummer and the heads of the singers of Hillsong... And a lot of people up in the balcony enjoying themselves. What I did not understand was this; we had group of 20 something people and 15 of them were in the gym, without any leader. Don't get me wrong here, but if most of your group is sitting down in the gym, shouldn't the leaders give up their seats to come sit with their group? I mean, I would think it would make since. Nevertheless, Shaun and Chantelle came so I knew if God was going to do crazy things we would have a couple more leaders to pray for our kids, instead of just... me.

Phill Dooley was awesome, as usual. The night was aimed more at non believers and to let them know that God is BIG and he loves us! Phill Dooley is really my favorite speaker. He seems to always put humor in such a serious message and it always leaves a big impact on you. We only got to see the back of Phill's head, but we did have to big screens. It was like watching TV, and as I said to Dyllan "we should have well just stayed at the church and put the hillsong DVD on the big screen."Nevertheless, hillsong live is better then a DVD, even if there back is to you. They always get you jumping!

The frustrated included the thousands of people waiting outside to get into the second session. The happy is... can anyone take a guess?

Yes! The ones who got seats in the front! So altogether in our group we had 15 disappointed, 0 frustrated, and 5 happy. How did the 5 others get to be happy when they waited the same time as us? Whatever, we enjoyed ourselves, for the most part, we really did.
