You looked pretty miserable up there on stage, but you sounded great! As a UND student, I would have loved to make it to the concert on campus as well, but I wasn’t aware of it at all. </p> <p> Hope you are finally feeling better! </p> I was at the show in Grand Forks and was one of the 72 who sponsored a child (that was #2, and sponsored a 3rd this last Sunday at the TobyMac concert).
