Cornerstone Festival - Wednesday Night

Nate and I headed back to the Festival around 4 and got to watch a thunderstorm pass just east of us and the festival. I love how you can see the whole storm and that it is a lot further away and bigger than it seems. Not sure I could live in a flat tree-less land but it's cool to visit and for N to experience - he's been East coast/west coast but this is his first visit to the Heartland.

We spent the whole night up at the Main Stage. David Crowder and tobyMac were the headliners, but the Wedding, Everyday Sunday and Fireflight were pretty good "openers". N and I were about 20 feet from the stage for both DCB and tobymac. Both were awesome in different ways. DCB gets everyone moving and I think N called it "rock worship".



David Crowder did a version of Come thou Fount that melded in Amazing Grace that just rocked but also was so worshipful. Even though the rain had cooled it off a bit, it was packed in and moving by the stage so we were drenched. Not sure my old ears and knees are really up for this but I'm loving it.







TobyMac was as always out of control. The crowd seemed a bit subdued at the beginning but really got into when he did the old dcTalk In the Light. He ended with Jesus Freak and Extreme Days - and pretty much brought the house down. N and I were way too close to the speakers - my left ear still feels muddled today. Might need some ear plugs.




We didn't get back until almost 1 AM and N slept almost to 11 AM. Nate is having a blast - jumping, head banging, worshipping - no mosh pit though - I do need to bring him back to his Mom in one piece!
