Sunday afternoon, The Glade Church put on a worship concert at the fair. The goal was to have 1000 people at the pageant pavilion for a concert that was to honor and worship God. It was a very, very cool experience to see all those matching blue shirts plus a whole bunch of other people singing and worshiping openly in a public place. I looked over at Josh during one of the songs and whispered to him how lucky we are to live in a place where we can worship openly and publicly . Holding my baby, standing next to my husband, being a part of something bigger than myself and singing to and for Jesus was a wonderful experience. As said at the concert, we weren't there to spread the name of the church, to spread the name of the pastor or the music even, we were there to Go! Worship; to sing for our Savior in an unlikely place, to radically shake people up and present them with something that they did not intend on hearing or seeing. We had a lot of fun and once again felt that reassurance and sense of belonging.
We got to the fair a few hours before the concert so that Major could play and ride beforehand. He was so much fun this year! He is a little daredevil anyway, but just to watch him be so happy made us so happy.

We found Major's friend Molly from school and together they rode just about everything.
Look at the joy on his face!
It was such a nice, fun family day.
