After a fun afternoon on State St. in Madison, we came back to the River Pantry to set up and play. Because of the requests of the management, we had to cut down on volume, trying about three different plans before figuring out our final setup. We didn't bring our soundboard in, using theirs instead, tried using a partial drum kit but ending up just going with djembe, and finally ending up almost fully acoustic. The conflict and frustration was really taking a toll on our attitudes.
Then, in a meeting outside before eating a light suppery snack provided by Shelley's parents, Bryan reminded us why we were here.
Whether we are loud and rocking strong or quiet and more contemplative, we are still worshipping God. Our purpose here is to glorify him and "be transparent," letting Him shine though us to those we serve.
We've nourished our bodies with wonderful soup and stuff; now we nourish our souls and those of the people present with our joyful noise to our Savior, who is mighty to save.
God bless, over and out.
