American Idol Star
Lately things have been so crazy and busy- so many events and so much traveling. But I have to admit, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love every second of it. I flew down to Lynchburg, Virginia on Saturday, February 27, 2010 to attend a concert that AT Dunn and Chelsea Cooley were producing for the Master's Inn. All the proceeds were for the Masters Inn which is an independent non-profit ministry that is designed to reach children, youth, and adults for Jesus Christ through Christian camping and outdoor recreation. The Standout Productions Retreat that Chelsea and AT held was located at the Master's Inn. It is such a wonderful place that really makes you look at life from an entirely different perspective and helps you find YOU and your beliefs. The owner, Jim Sanders, is such a genuine, whole-hearted, caring man. He made everyone feel right at home. When AT and Chelsea informed me of this concert that was being held, I was so excited- little did I know that it was the former American Idol winner, Ruben Studdard, performing! That was my favorite season of American Idol and I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to watch him perform and interact with him. I was very fortunate when I was given front row seats too! He was such a wonderful performer with a great talent. It is so nice to see him putting his talent to use by reaching out to others. His music and lyrics were truly like no other- so inspirational. What I found to be nice was that not only was he this gifted American Idol singer, but he was also a wonderful guy. Ruben was so kind and so nice when I was lucky enough to meet him. You could just tell that he has a passion for doing what he does. When he went out to sign autographs, it was great to see the crowd he brought in. I am so happy for him and wish him the very best in the future. The trip was a short one- only a day to be exact; however, I had a great time. The concert was a success and I was so thrilled to see AT and Chelsea and catch up with them a little. They are wonderful and kind people and will do anything to help others. Those are the people we need to look up to.
