Behold the Lamb

Had a good time Thursday night at the Andrew Peterson Behold the Lamb of God concert. Peterson was first known for the worship song he wrote “He Is”. The concert started at 715, then there was an intermission at 845. In the first part the artists spent a chunk of time introducing and explaining their songs. The last hour there was hardly any talk, instead moving quickly from one song to another, performing 13 songs between 9 and 10 pm – telling the story of Jesus’ birth. Very worshipful. After taking their bows at the end, Peterson led the congregation in the Doxology, which the concertgoers sang as the musicians walked off stage.

This is the 26th annual Lamb of God tour. Thursday was the first concert in the 2025 tour, a sellout. The tour lasts 13 nights between last night and Dec 20.

After work I met Matthew and Ceil at the Peachtree Corners Forum to eat at Kimchi Red, a highly regarded Korean fried chicken restaurant in the Politan Row food court. M and C enjoyed it, but it really wasn’t my cup of tea. Then a few miles up Peachtree Parkway to Perimeter Church, at the corner of Old Alabama Road. W&MC and A&C joined us.

Will had come from work at Northside Hospital, where he had been able to be with Charles Norman during part of Annie’s four hour brain aneurism surgery. Just as the concert was starting, Will heard that the surgeon had come out to report that the surgery had gone well. They’ll continue to monitor Annie today. Both W&MC were drained from the day’s events.

So it’s decided - January 15th will be my last day at work. It’s starting to get real. They’ll have a cake at the office, then a steak dinner that evening with coworkers. Better start working on my speech. A very nice send-away. But we’ll be keeping the girlies the next week after that.

Another thing about my going away party day – some EZGo people will be coming all the way from Augusta to say goodbye. Very nice. 23 more work days.

I won’t be needing as many clothes in my closet. Or as many shoes. Really won’t be using a backpack to carry around my laptop any more. So many things I won’t be needing. Looking forward to The Great De-Cluttering of 2026.
