LiveBlog: JMB @ Vincinnes Retreat - Day 2

Today has been an eventful day. The band opened the Morning Show with our own rendition of “Smokey Mountain Rain” titled “Illinois Rain.” Our weather forecast from yesterday was dead on – it’s still raining. We opened the morning worship with some more upbeat stuff to get the kids moving. This afternoon, we discovered a few things: • Not all Bibles include all 66 books of the Bible (Andrew’s new NASB left out Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah and all but two chapters of Job). • Derek can, occasionally, have a striking resemblance to a Smurf • When we actually rehearse songs, we can sound fairly good. During the free time, we decided to have a rehearsal. Feeling the need to add more worship songs to our sets, we learned “Grace Like Rain” by Todd Agnew and “Sometimes by Step” by Rich Mullins. We debuted both songs in the evening worship set. Look out for these new worship songs at a gig near you (we have also recently added “God of Wonders” to our catalog). After the evening worship, the Late Nite Live game was “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” The band and Matt Walton formed the Kentucky Headhunters team. We rocked the competition, but unfortunately, the partial judges gave the victory to a student team. Our reference to aliens listening to bluegrass was quoted several times by other teams, and our party skit was the “funniest things I’ve seen in years,” according to Mike Cabell. Nevertheless, we finished third in the competition. Thus concludes Day #2.
