Music Boat 2008..."the final frontier" (Britt Nicole, Matthew West, Nate Sallie)

The final night of the Music Boat...

Everybody gathered in one accord...

Britt Nicole just radiating Christ!

Intense!

After Britt Nicole really set the spirit and mood for the evening...

Matthew West showed up center stage...

(now from this point on I beg your... uh..indulgence a little, OK?)

But while Matthew was getting warmed up...

"Matthew"..."pssst"..."hey Matthew"

There was one little distraction...

a tall, older gentleman with a good-looking wife beside him kept trying to

get an autograph...

Matthew, realizing this gentleman won't give up...

finally stopped singing and gave in!

Apparently got the attention of Nate Sallie from NEWSONG ...

Nate takes the mic...Hey, Let's get down to business!

But then there's that little voice again...

"Pssssst...." "Nate"...."Hey Nate....it's me!"

Now folks this is getting a little out of hand! (LOL)

But hey...wait a minute...I think I know this guy...

"Aren't you the BFJ 'Superglue-on-the-lip-guy'?"

(Yeah, Nate, you got a great memory...

I was kinda hoping you'd forget about that trip to BFJ!)

F_L_A_S_H_B_A_C_K a few months...

(Here's the picture... but wait!

For the complete story...check the blog link below... it's not quite what you think!)

But since we are on the subject of "not quite what you think"...

"Judy seems to think I have stretched the truth here in this blog a little.."

W-E-L-L... would you believe... a whole lot!

But one thing that we're both a 100% on...

We love this guy...

We'll always remember his warm smile and kind spirit!

And we'll always remember the Custom Officer

almost confiscating my camera for taking this picture in a "NO PHOTO" area...

And who could forget that exciting flight home

after all these days of non-stop food and INTENSE excitement!

Hey, now that we've rested up a little...

we're ready for Music Boat 2009... Have you signed up yet?

Notes: Thanks to WBFJ and Premier Cruises for letting Judy and I be a part of this great outreach and ministry...it really was the cruise of a lifetime. We really had a great but we weren't acting goofy all the time...(LOL). Next time I'll take a better camera and get you more pictures and better close-ups... just to keep the record straight I had to borrow the first two pictures from the 2007 Music Boat Slide Show...it was the same worship experience this year but I didn't get the good shots. The Music Boat is everything you heard and more...I hope you can go next time!
