Well, this is what raincoats look like at a festival
in an amphitheater. It got really nice later, but
we had our bouts with rain every day.

God has been very good to Rebecca and me as we count the days and months that unemployment has resided with us like a silent guest with a bad attitude ... one we didn't invite, but cannot pry out of our lives by any act of shear will power, interviews, or even prayers of petition.
Time takes the time God takes.

We are not ungrateful for the experience, but will not be unhappy when it departs from us.
We understand that God, through His Son Jesus Christ, does not suggest that our life's road will be free of dust or sharp stones, but that our comfort will be increased and our burdens lightened if we invite Him along.
(His yoke is light).
And so we have done just that ... and we extend our hand to Him each day ... or at least most days. We are not perfect people, but we believe in His perfect will and His perfect act of grace (our salvation).
That is the prize and why we run headlong toward the finish line!
Praise Him!

I was really blessed
at this concert
series, even though
there were long
hours, soaking rain
and a few interesting
encounters.
I was in section 4 row
EE which was at the
left-hand side ... so
the photos, for the
most part, show that
vantage point.
Last year I was in
section 12 on the
other side. Maybe I
should mix it up a
little?
I asked if I could get
out of my seat and
take a few shots
(which was a
mistake) but was told
I could not due to
emergency planning.
In the pouring rain I
was tapped on the
shoulder (I had taken
the liberty of
standing in the aisle
... hmmmmm ... to
get a better pic of
Fireflight) and told
that I could not use
flash. This was news
to me, and made
photos from this
distance problematic,
especially in the low
light and the rain.
But because this was
main security, and I
didn't want to get
thrown out, I vowed
to contact the King's
Island group before
next year's program
for better access.
I met some really
cool people. The
names I recall are
Grant & Tara, who
sat beside me & are
from Lexington, KY,
Paul who prayed
over me, and who
was from Windsor,
Ontario, of all places,
and Jason, I believe,
who is a young dude
from the area just
beginning his stint in
youth ministry.
God plans really well,
and He continues to
remind me of that
when I begin to get
messed up in my
own planning
exercises.
