ALIVE is over

June 21st, 2009 by Michael Key

Rain, and even more rain. Alive festival was a big mud hole. The music, was so, so. I saw RED who wasn’t all that great and the Newsboys who played are a real disappointment because they are nothing more than a cover band. I did get to meet John Ruben who is a goof ball. Outside of bad weather, the festival went ok. We had the opportunity to stay with this two guys who we found in the Mennonite Your Way guide book.

Rain, Rain and a little more rain

That’s right, it poured today. Today was off to a good start, until it started to rain. And the vendor tent began to flood. That was not so enjoyable. Hopefully tomorrow the sun will come out and dry everything out. Otherwise, I am not sure what the festival will do, because half of the vendor tent was a giant pond.

Alive Music Festival

June 16th, 2009 by Michael Key

So here I am, in Ohio. Boring old Ohio… Well maybe it won’t be so bad. My brother lives in Ohio and most of my family is from here. I am hoping to get to see him on Friday. It’d be great to hang out and chat with him, while on tour.

Today we setup our booth, and tomorrow is the first actual day of the music festival. It should be interesting. I have been praying with the group and some interesting things have been happening here. The past couple of days, it felt like the tensions where just getting everyone a little frustrated. So I suggested we should start praying. I firmly believe that God is going to to some big works in the lives of some of the people on this tour. I believe I am here to be a blessing to Joe, and that I will know what God wants me to do next. I’ve been praying that he will lead me into my life’s calling after this summer.

So I am trying to make it a point that we pray at the start of the day as a group, and at the close of the day.

Another thing, we are going to try asking people at the festival if there are any needs that they’d like prayer for.

Well, tomorrow is the day. Keep me in your prayers.

Climbing, Red River Gorge

June 14th, 2009 by Michael Key

Where to begin on the awesome climbing, camping and pizza. The events listed here are not in order, but we visited the Red River Gorge a few times to do some climbing. And it was intense. The views utterly amazing. God’s creation is just that, incredibly beautiful.

We also stopped off at a place called Miguel’s Pizza and Climbing Supplies, which is a famous rock climbers stop for good pizza. The place was packed with people just hanging around.

Anyways, I’ll skip all the fancy descriptions and get right to the photos.
