My Time at The Lynden Fair

I went to the County fair this last week and saw Jars of Clay...more like Jars of Lame. Here are some of my thoughts while the concert was going on:

-Is this the same song?

-When are they going to play "Flood"?

-What will they play after "Flood"?

-I hate when Christian bands do encores. I hate encores all together, but it's pretty lame when a Christian band does a set where people are worshipping and then after they are done, they go backstage and come out after people have been chanting, "one more, one more, one more" for the past five minutes.

-Jars of Clay does have a cool ministry that they are pushing: www.bloodwatermission.org You should check it out.

-Jars spoke about how their ministry asks for only $1 and it will give a person in africa clean water for a year. It cost $18 dollars to see them...imagine what it would look like if instead of going to see an acoustic set of a band whose songs I know only include "Flood", and a few of the hymns off of their new CD, the money was donated to blood: water missions. Imagine if the people of the fair donated $2 from every ticket sold, that would be about $4000-$8000, enough for 1-2 new wells in afica.

-I hate money sometimes.

-I know more about Christian music than I really would like to.

-I don't know as much about secular music as I used too...this has to change.

And then the show ended. YEAH!!!
