a weekend with a lot of variety

nathan has this friend from church/school named peter who asks nathan to lead worship with him at various events from time to time. so when peter asked nathan to help him lead worship at an event in mount olive, nathan said sure. that is how i found myself at a tent revival in the middle of a cow pasture both friday and saturday. yeah.

the giant tent in the middle of the field, you can see the cars as a reference of how big it was


now lets focus on the important part, it was in a cow pasture. i love cows.

this cow believes the grass really is greener on the other side



jud and a cow eye each other


you'd think a camera that large would have a better zoom (by the way those are my sunglasses)


just kidding, they were doing that



oh how i love cows



hey buddy!





nathan and the cow face off



calling out to my people




mama cow and baby cow


hey its me!


moo


as we continued we found flowers



nathan conquered mount olive




we also ran across an unidentifiable skeleton scattered around one part of the pasture. it was sketchy



later when the revival started, the cows came a runnin' to hear some gospel

some of the band


saturday morning there was oozeball. that is where they dig up 3 rectangles the shape and size of vollyball courts in the field behind my apartments, get the fire department to come spray everything down, then we play vollyball in the mud
my team. team name " the we just want to play for fun but if we win then thats cool too team" (yes those are goggles)
matt really got into the spirit of the rediculousness that is oozeball and wore cut off shorts and a cut off shirt. later he lost the shirt and just stuck with the cut off shorts


practicing before our first game

after our first game (we won!)

my roomates tackled me because i wasn't muddy enough for their taste
lets play a game i just made up called "identify that man's race"
for a hint, look at his shoulder in this picture.



after our second game. we lost. but its ok because we just wanted to play for fun and if we won, thats cool too

the dream team
one last picture before my shower that took about 40 minutes or so of scrubbing


then immediately after the shower, nathan and i drove back to mount olive for some more revival

then, seeing as we were halfway to chapel hill already, we decided to go to the Psalm 100 concert which is the acapella group that some of my friends are in. the sunset on the way was gorgeous.

we made it!
here's nathan chillin with some old fellas at the well right before we left to drive back to wilmington...
