The Ghetto, The Newsboys, and The See Thru Chinese Restaurant

Last night we headed to the South Sides UIV Paivilon to catch the Adoration Worship Tour which consisted of The Newsboys, Rebecca St. James, Don Moen, Jeremy Camp, and Sarah Groves. However, before we went to the concert we stopped to get some dinner. Due to lack of time, we decided to grab something quick, we spotted a Subway not to far from the concert. Once we got closer we noticed that there was a Chinese restraint next door so we decided we would do Chinese instead. So we headed inside the 'See Thru Chinese restaurant,' you heard me correctly. Where they got the name we could not comprehend. The menu was one like we had never seen...Including BBQ ribs and crab toast...we didn't understand much about the Chinese restaurant but we don't know anywhere else in Chicago where you can get 6lbs of sesame Chicken for 7 dollars. So if you ever are in the hood, and want some Chinese...just look for the flashing neon of the See Thru.

The concert was great. Everyone did less original songs and more worship songs which was awesome. The Newsboys were very real and even though they have done this concert for months, they put their heart into it like it was their first performance. I think that best song for me last night was Blessed Be Your Name...'You give and take away, you give and take away, my heart will choose to say Blessed be your name.' The words hit home and the Spirit was moving. I will admit, I was hoping they would do a little 'Shine' for old times sake and they didn't. Still, good stuff.
