What a Difference!



In stark contrast to my last post, Heath and I worked Fishfest yesterday. It was amazing! While we didn't even make $10 in tips, being there was payment enough. It was so awesome to see "God's People" coming together to have fun, rock out, and worship God. I love to see grown big, burly men standing up, hands raised, singing out to the Lord. I love see women doing it too, it's just neat to see men being humble before their God and not caring who sees it. It is so the opposite of what men are taught to be these days. There were people raising their hands in worship while Chris Tomlin lead us all in song and people banging their heads to Kutless. There was such a variety of people. Young and old, black, white, hispanic, asian, etc. Everyone was gracious, friendly, and just plain nice. Unlike all the other concerts we work, people actually threw all their trash away and there weren't any fights for security to break up. Nobody cussed at us for not being able to give out cups or for the ridiculously high prices for everything.($4.50 for a bottle of soda)
It was a refreshing and pleasant example of how we, who are called to be different in this world, should be at all times. And best of all.... nobody peed in the bushes!!!
