Last Sunday night my youth group went to the Winter Jam Spectacular. There was music, food and a speaker. It was held at the Bobcat Arena in Charlotte. American Idol “Mandisa” was there. I didn't know that she was a Christian but I found out because she told us the story behind American Idol. “Mercy Me” was there.  They're one of my favorite bands. And one of my very favorite bands, “Barolow Girl” was there. The speaker, author Tony Nolan, was there.

He told a true story from last year about three teenagers who came to last year's Winter jam. Two were girls; one was a boy. One of the girls received Christ at the concert. When the concert was over they were driving home when a semi-truck ran right over them in the car. But none of them survived in the car crash.  It sounded pretty scary. I told my mom and my brothers the story. My mom said, "We may never know when we are going to heaven. So we have to ask God to forgive our sins every day.”

Tony also said over 38,000 people received Christ last year at Winter Jam. It was really fun.
