Winter Jam 2011

 [They] were celebrating before God with all their might, singing songs and playing all kinds of musical instruments--lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets. - 1 Chronicles 13:8

Tonight was KLove's annual Winter Jam tour in Charleston.  The feeling of having so many people around you praising God is one of the best feelings in the world! The whole Civic Center was full, and you could feel the spirit - I had friends all over the building texting me so we could wave to each other from hundreds of feet away :).  The line-up consisted of Chris Sligh, Chris August, Sidewalk Prophets, Red (my and Ty's main reason for going :),  Newsong, Francesa Battistelli, David Crowder Band, Kutless, and Newsboys.  It was a music and fun - filled night, and we had awesome seats thanks to our friend Nelson!

I chose to put this verse at the beginning of this post, because there are many people who believe that drums and 'louder' instruments shouldn't be played when worshipping (and the Westboro Baptist "Church" was there protesting), but alas! There it is, right in the BIBLE - tambourines and cymbals?!? I think we should praise in whatever way we feel gives GOD the GLORY!

On our way!!

Here's my lovely husband giving a view of the only half-filled auditorium before the concert started :)

Happy Saturday! - don't forget to set your alarm for church tomorrow! :)
