After a shower and a change of clothes, I’m reflecting on Soulfest 2009. The mud on Friday was a challenge – a day of solid rain and about 10,000 people trudging around – cheerful but messy. And boy did the mud smell!
As always, the highlights for me was the time spent with my LCN family and the conversations we had. I wish we could have more time just relaxing together and talking. Jeffrey Todd Keel (ex Fort Pastor) came and played for us at the LCN camp site, which was cool, and Tom Conlon gave me a CD of his latest project – which is, as expected, excellent. Casting Crowns never disappoint and the Jim & Allison Trick / Maeve / Brant Christopher stable were all good to hear and meet.
Soulfest is not inexpensive and could do with more working restrooms, but putting that aside, it is a phenomenal expression of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and a wonderful explosion of the artistic creativity that the church has locked up within in. Viva Soulfest!
