Third Day Concert Tickets - 5 Hot Tips to Get Christian Concert

Author: Teresa Baty

Article:
Got to have those Third Day Concert Tickets, but aren't into
camping out all night in a line of desperate fans on the same
quest? Good news, you don't have to! You can have those tickets
at competitive prices without ever leaving home or
standing in a single line. Read on for 5 hot tips to get the
tickets you want, (even for Sold Out artists like Third Day,
Casting Crowns, Steve Curtis Chapman) at the best prices without
all the hassle.

Where to Buy?

1. Secondary Event Ticket Sellers - The ultimate
source for hot demand concert tickets are secondary event ticket
seller's online sites. Bottomline - someone bought tickets they
now need to sell. Their loss can be your HUGE GAIN. They sell
them via a secondary Event Ticket Seller's online website.

While there are gads of seller sites cropping up - beware to
pick your ticket seller site carefully. My 5 personal favorites
are below. From them you can expect:

- Huge selection (one site alone carries over 1 million tickets
in inventory to events worldwide)

- Authentic ticket guarantees

- Consistent pricing structure (the playing field is the same
for all ticket sales on their site, unlike eBay where the
multitude of sellers call the shots)

- Competitive pricing (comparison shop and see for yourself)

- Multiple payment options

- Reliable delivery guarantees - Even though you are buying
tickets that are being resold, you have the comfort of knowing
that the sale is managed by a reputable company.

2. Ticket Sales Site Wishlist - Some of the Secondary
Event Ticket seller sites have an Alert List or wishlist of
sorts. Enter your info there and you'll be alerted ASAP if what
you're looking for comes available. Think of it as a free
lookout service.

3. Fan Sites - Sites dedicated to fans of a particular
artist, sport, entertainment event often offer a forum
(electronic bulletin board) where fans can post. If another fan
has tickets they can't use, they use this avenue to try to sell
them. Keep in mind you'll be dealing directly with the seller.

4. Pre-sales - Internet searches will give you info on
pre-sales and the passwords required to take advantage of the
discounted prices they offer. Keep in mind the cost of the
passwords adds to the overall cost of your tickets. Some
pre-sale passwords can be acquired for free, others have
stipulations that prohibit you from being privy to the pre-sale
even *with* the password. Always check out the details before
paying for a pre-sale password.

5. Youth Pastors - If the event is one that high school
or college age Christian youth would be drawn to - check with
local youth pastors. They often buy tickets in bulk to concerts
or sports events at group discount prices to make available to
their students for a group outing. It's not uncommon for them to
have extras that they simply want to get their money back on and
will try to sell at the event door for face value. If you
contact them beforehand, you'll have 1st shot at them and scoop
them up for sweet prices.

A Sanctuary For Your Soul

Author: Lori Radun, CEC

Article:
As I lay down with my son, encouraging him to get some afternoon
rest, I listened to his sound machine emulate a summer night. I
felt like I was in the middle of the country on a starry night,
being soothed by the songs of cicadas. Fortunate for me, my son
was being unusually quiet, and I was able to slip into a
self-created sanctuary for my soul.

Now I could have chosen to work, do laundry, clean house, read,
or catch up on phone calls. However, I know all too well, the
importance of giving my soul the quiet time it needs. As moms, I
know it can be hard to justify spending time alone with you. It
can be equally difficult finding the time. Some moms are
uncomfortable being still and quiet, while others don't see much
point in the matter.

There are many ways you can create a sanctuary for your soul.
You can lie down and listen to soothing music. You can meditate.
Spending time in a room that is a safe haven for you is another
way. Float in the sun in the middle of a pool or sit by the
beach and watch the waves come crashing in. Creating a sanctuary
for your soul requires these things only: you spend the time
alone, you are quiet and not doing anything that busies your
mind and you do your best to relax. Regardless of how you do it,
the most important thing is you do it because...

It nourishes your soul. Why do you think you feel so refreshed
after a good night's sleep? Because your body and mind have
completely shut down and refueled. By creating a sanctuary for
your soul to relax, you recharge your battery. You only have so
much energy to function on before you start running out. And
with children, we know that energy goes fast! When you start
running out, you become short-tempered, irritable, impatient,
tired or even spacey. Regular time for you will do wonders for
keeping you refueled, emotionally available, relaxed and happy.

When you are quiet and still, you allow the voice of God and
your true self to speak to you. The Casting Crowns wrote a
beautiful song called "Voice of Truth". The chorus goes like
this:

But the voice of truth tells me a different story The voice of
truth says, "Do not be afraid!" The voice of truth says, "This
is for My glory" Out of all the voices calling out to me I
will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

You need to quiet your mind's chatter and the background noise
of your day to make room for the quiet voices to speak to you.
It may be the voice of God giving you an answer to your prayer.
That little voice could be your intuition nagging you to make a
different choice in your life. It is through quiet and solitude
that the truth speaks the loudest.

Creating a sanctuary for your soul promotes peace and relaxation
in the family. You are not the only one that benefits from
taking quiet time for yourself. Your children and husband
receive a more relaxed mom and wife. And what a blessing that
is. You teach your family the value of spending time alone in
blissful silence. If you had a ritual in your family that
encouraged everyone to take down time for their mind, body and
soul, imagine how peaceful your environment could be.

Everyone needs time for reflection. Have you ever heard the
saying, "I can't even hear myself think."? I know I have, and I
can totally relate. Maybe because my mom used to say that to me.
Sometimes you need quiet so you can sort out your thoughts.
Perhaps you want to plan out your day, or think about a decision
you need to make. Sometimes it's nice to be able to play your
day back before you go to bed. What was great about your day?
What would you have done differently? Taking this time for
reflection allows us to grow, have gratitude, be organized, and
value thoughtfulness.

Let's face it. All of these things help you be a better mom,
better wife, and an all around better person. The job of
motherhood demands we be at our best as much as possible. If we
do not take care of ourselves on a regular basis, we only have
less than our best self to give. Creating a sanctuary for your
soul allows you to give to yourself so you can give back to
others.

Review of their LATEST CD The Alter and the Door!



This group has a great heart and this CD is their best yet. I loved their previous CD's as well (I have them all) but this is great, and you won't regret it if you buy the Alter and the Door. It's not one of those cd's where one song is good, they are all good.

My overall favorites are 1. What this world needs, 3. slow fade, 4. East to West of course! 6. The Alter and the Door, but again, I do like them all :)

They even have a few songs on their CD of the ladies in the group doing lead vocals which was a nice surprise, although my favorite is still the lead vocalist, Mark Hall.

I bought the CD this weekend and have listened to it about 100 times already.

Remember to check out their tour dates on my site. Don't miss them when they come to your area!
