Switchfooting to Vancouver

That was the best Monday I've ever experienced. The 12 hours spent in travelling in bus back and forth from Kelowna to Vancouver, lack of sleep and the exhaustion I'm experiencing was well worth it. All for sake of a band called Switchfoot. The day just got better and better and the experince was surreal! Had great fellowship with a great of group of christians (I did not know them before, shared pizza, chatted and braved the cold weather before the concert). Switchfoot definately rocked the house and were true witnesses for Jesus, sharing the gospel through their music.
Me, my spontaneous Brothers and Sisters in Christ and of course, Switchfoot lead singer and drummer (Jon Foreman and Chad Butler).

After the concert, meeting the lead singer Jon Foreman was even better. To witness his humbleness and dedication for the gospel as an ambassdor for Jesus was truly remarkable. In his own words in an interview with Today Magazine, "I see the gospel as the antithesis of what happens on stage. We have it all wrong in a lot of respects where we interview the people who are up on stage when I truly believe that what happens off stage is more important. How we treat each other behind closed doors matters a whole more as far as infinity's concerned than whether you hit the right note on stage and you had the strobe just perfect and your guitar was in tune. " I was truly privelleged to have met and chatted with a humble, brother in Christ.

(For those skeptics who think that I was bluffing about meeting and chatting with Jon Foreman)
