"S C squared"
I couldn't go much further without telling people about my favoite singer. This is Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. I didn't really know a whole lot about him until a few years ago when our Sunday school class had a sign up to go to one of his concerts. I thought that I better prepare so that I didn't look like I didn't know who he was. I pulled out a c.d. that I had that I hadn't even opened, that was given to me as a gift. I think it was his "Heaven in a Real World" album. I got hooked on the song about the ships. I got to the concert and just went nuts. The man is amazing. He sang all night, ADN he was funny. At this concert he also did something called "Beyond the Gates of Splendor" It was the story of Jim Elliott and the other missionaries who were killed by the Auca Indians in South America. After he showed the slides he actually brought out Jim's son Steve. I thought that was so cool and then Steven took it one step further and brought on a man by the name Mincaei. He is a member of the Auca tribe. He in fact was the man that murdered Jim Elliott. To see them standing next to each other on stage was awkward. But anyway, I really took a liking to Steven Curtis Chapmans music. I liked it so much in fact that I went out that next and bout the "Declaration" album, which was the one done at the concert. I memorized every song but still couldn't get enough. I looked on line and saw that his last concert was going to be held in Oklahoma, at the Cook center. I told my dad about it and he thought it would be a great idea to go and he even wanted to come too. We made a day of it. I had to work in the morning, but I took the aftenoon off and we drove the 5 hours to Oklahoma City, had a great time and then came back
