Acquire the Fire

We went to Aquire the Fire this year with Heritage as youth leaders. It was fun and really an interesting experience. It's weird to transition out of the youth scene and into the "old and washed up" group of people that think the music is too loud and that the youth population is totally immature (umm. . .totally me, If I saw one more paper airplane, I swear I would have strangled that kid). You can see from the picture, there were tons of people there! I think like 14.000 or something ridiculous like that. It was the "Battle Cry" event and those evidently are more popular. It was very commercial though. Not so much the desperate crying out to God that I had expected. Our youth group doesn't even understand that concept anyway. Josh and I went to the youth leaders meeting and David Crowder came and greeted all of us. That was really cool. He totally looks like a goat, but he sure writes good music!! :-) My favorite part of his concert was when he played the guitar hero guitar! That was awesome. Evidently one of his band members rigged it up so that it plugs into a laptop and it works like a real guitar only with like three chord options. David Crowder actually plays it for a whole song! That was cool!
