Crazy Cross Guy

Last night, Ang and I took about a dozen teens to a Kutless concert. It was awesome! Probably one of the best concerts that I have been to in a long time. The cool thing was watching several hundred teens worshiping God as Kutless led us in a worship set. I love it when a band will use a concert to worship God.

Even though that was the highlight of the night, something else happend that took a close second. Ang and I were sitting up in the balcony enjoying the concert when we notcie this 50+ old guy that looked like Santa in a leather coat, with the word redeeemed written across it. He was at the front with all the moshers holding up a cross. No big deal! But 10 minutes later, I saw him on the other side of the stage, now throwing his cross in the air. I thought to myself, man, this guy gets around. I continued to enjoy the concert by looking at the projection screens to get a different view. At this time it was a panned out view of the stage so you could see the heads of the crowd as they sang to the music. All of a sudden, I saw the cross. Crazy Cross Guy was now in the center of the crowd holding up his cross again. It was like playing Where's Waldo, only instead of Waldo it was Crazy Cross Guy.

This is where it gets really good. The concert was coming to an end and Kutless was coming out to do their last two songs. I was looking for CCG (the abrev is a call out for all the WOTWs) and couldn't find him anywhere. Just as Kutless began their last song, Crazy Cross Guy ran out onto the stage. I couldn't believe my eyes. Just before he made it to the center of the stage, he was grab by the back of his coat and brought down. It was amazing. Crazy Cross Guy was everywhere. What a night!
