In my last post, I gave my praise about Rev Gen. Each year they have demonstrated they are trying to make this event better and so for this post, here are some things they ought to consider.
1. Are all those tables in the Resource Tent necessary? Honestly, some of them mock our faith more than help it. I know it helps offset the costs of the event but is it substantial? Unless they are serving as an example of what artists like Derek Webb are singing against, I’m fairly certain that if Jesus were to return on Labor Day weekend, He would first stop at this tent, overthrow half these tables and then continue on to that East Gate in Jerusalem that He’s supposed to walk through ;-)
2. I think it’s time to stop the annoying tract givers as soon as you walk into the festival. Those money tracts are absolutely ridiculous.
3. I love the leader tent, it really is helpful. But this year the vibe seemed a bit more stingy with the free drinks. If youth leaders are abusing it and handing out free water, they could just put up a sign that says something like, “In order to provide adequate refreshments to our leaders, please help us by limiting these to our leaders.” or something like that.
1. My niece Lina! I mentioned this last week but my sister and brother-in-law welcomed this beautiful little girl on August 30th. 5lbs 13oz., 19in. Healthy, happy and Nathan and I are headed out Wednesday to meet her. (Susan will be enjoying a little break as we are away. She will devote her time to cleaning out our gutters and re-shingling our roof ;-)
3. Hanging out with my friend Brian and fiance Lille. Brian is an old college friend, the author of
Derek Cooper – “Jesus and His Mission: Book Study on Mark”.
