Last night I went to a Christian concert. I ended up on the lawn at Coors Amphitheater, sharing a blanket with Melanie, James, and Justin--The peanut gallery. Yeah, they came to see the opening band but got there late and were bitter cause they didn't think the rest of the show was all that great. But it was amusing. I had a great time.
Have you ever met one of those people that others tend to naturally follow? Well, one of the guys who came to the concert with us--Patrick--has that kind of personality. People naturally tend to gravitate toward him, and he brings more people to church than the rest of us combined. We were trying to figure out how he does it because at this show, we were offered better seats by the representative of Compassion International, who was touring with the bands in the show. We started talking with him, and within about 10 minutes, Patrick managed to talk his way backstage, met one of the band members, and got to watch some of the show from the side of the stage. Patrick is a navy pilot, and I have no doubt that this ability to attract people, combined with his integrity, will move him quickly through the military ranks of leadership. Anyway, it is quite an interesting phenomenon. He definitely has some charisma.
