A Friday Post

Goodmorning everyone! Hoping you're having a great day, as well you should because it is Friday and it is also Labor Day Weekend! So, Happy Labor Day to you and lots of prayers for safety. Would you like to know some events coming up? I know you do! Dear readers, we have concerts and quite a few of them! First on the list, we have Rush of Fools and T.Culler coming to Northwood Baptist Church on September 18 at 7pm. I hope you're super-psyched about that! Needtobreathe will be performing at the Music Farm in downtown Charleston on September 26 at 9pm, tickets are $12 in advance (etix.com) and $15 at the door. MercyMe, FEE, and Jonny Diaz are coming to the North Charleston Coliseum on October 23, doors open at 6pm, concert starts at 7pm. Travis Cottrell will be holding a concert in Hollywood, SC at Christ St. Pauls Church on October 25 at 6:30pm; tickets are $20 each. Brandon Heath, Leeland, and Francesca Batistelli will be at Cathedral of Praise on November 4 at 7pm, tickets are $15, to order go to http://www.itickets.com/events/232254/Charleston_SC/Follow_You_Tour.html or call 800-965-9324. Can I get a "WOOHOO!" for awesome music? :-) The Fall Pledge Drive 2009 is approaching. We are hoping for 500 impact partners who will pledge $10 a month.

Dr. Debbi Dunlap will be the speaker and tickets are $20 each. Alright, guys, would you like a fun tid-bit of info? According to a Forbes survey, these are the top 5 happiest cities in the world. Ready? (drumroll please...)

1. Rio de Janiero, Brazil

2. Sydney, Australia

3. Barcelona, Spain

4. Amsterdam, Netherlands

5. Melbourne, Australia

Two questions popped into my mind when I saw this list: 1) Why isn't one of them Orlando, Florida? (because it is home to the "Happiest Place On Earth" aka: Disney World!!!) and 2) What is the definition of happiness to the people in these cities? Granted, it's just a survey, but I just want to know.
