Tonight was really awesome. Dinner at RED with some people from Murfreesboro was a lot of fun. We then walked down to Ground Zero.

A large group was there (obviously from some church in town for the Billy Graham Crusade). Quietly, one of the girls from this group started to sing. At first, you could only recognize that she was singing. Her voice was too quiet to recognize anything else.

Slowly, a few more from her group joined in. Eventually, there were about 15 or so people singing worship songs at the top of their lungs at the fence at Ground Zero. It was AMAZING and very encouraging.

As people walked by, they could not help but glance over to the group with several hands raised toward God.

This went on for quite some time as the girl that started it all would pick up another song when one ended.

We left before they stopped singing, but as we walked back to the apartment, I could still hear them singing a block away tunes from Amazing Grace and Shout to the Lord.

The group that I was with tonight then came back to our apartment and went to the roof where we hung out for quite some time. It was a lot of fun hanging out with some of my regulars now but also some new people that I never knew from Murfreesboro.
