Glenn Beck's American Revival in Salt Lake City

Well, I've been revived.  America may still have a chance.  Glenn Beck and his associates are doing a great job at getting truth about our countries founding out to those who will listen.  My dad and I left the hotel at 9:00 am and got back at 5:30 pm.  It was one of the funnest events I have ever been but there were 6,000 people there.

First of all, when we arrived we were faced with the voices of protesters, all six of them.  I would have thought they could have made a better appearance to protest such a hateful man.  The whole event was riddled with humor from Glenn's pals Pat Grey and Stu Burgurie who started of the event with some humor and could be found before the breaks asking questions from the audience to Glenn or the current speaker.

It was really cool the way we started.  Pat recognized Senator Orrin Hatch and Congressman Jason Chaffetz.  It was interesting to note that Congressman Chaffetz had a lot more applause than Senator Hatch.

The first speaker was David Barton who spoke on faith.  He gave evidence about all of our founders being religious.  He is an extremely knowlegable person when it comes to the begining of our country.  He showed a couple of really cool items he has in his posession.  He showed us all one of the first bibles printed in America.  It was printed by none other than the United States Congress.  He also had a letter written by John Adams to his wife.  He did a very good job proving our founders faith.

The second speaker was David Barton a proffesor at Columbia University and he spoke on hope.  He spoke about how in dept our country is and some of the things that give hope to climbing out of the economic pit.  It was a little bit glomie but towards the end it was pretty good.

The third speaker was Judge Andrew Napolitano who spoke on Charity.  He spoke a lot about rights that cannot be taken from people by the government.  Concerning charity he said that it is not charity for someone to give another's money like our government does.  He was a very good speaker.

After Judge Napolitano a previous American Idol contestant preformed (I don't know here name).

Last of all Glenn Beck gave the keynote speach.  The lights were down and all of a sudden someone was singing "Amazing Grace".  Guess who it was?  It was Glenn Beck sitting down right in the middle of the audience on the floor.  He spoke a lot about the goodness of God and told us that his doctor said he could go blind in the next year.  Very emotionally Glenn told everyone that he had "macular dystrophy".  He turned right around and turned it into a joke and he said, "Is that that Jerry Lewis thing?  I should have given more.  I said, 'Did you just charge me a thousand dollars for knowing what I already knew my whole life?' I knew that at 3! 'You might go blind someday. You might not".  I love how Glenn can change a very serious, emotional subject into a funny sarcastic moment.

At the end, Glenn and his wife came out for applause as well as David Barton and his wife and David Buckner.  Glenn had David Barton give a prayer (which was very interesting) and then they left the stage.  This event was awsome and hard to describe how cool it was.  Glenn Beck, in my young oppinion, is a very great man striving for truth.
