Music Festival

A four day Christian music festival rolls into town every August. We look forward to hearing great live music, checking out the vendor exhibits, and squeezing in a ride or two. The event is held at the amusement park.

For weeks, my coworkers have been warning me about Kingdom Bound attendees. They have a reputation for being cheap and difficult.

Today I saw this first hand. Day 1 of the festival I worked in the restaurant.

Only one family paused to pray over their food. One customer tipped me 21 cents. Most left only a dollar or two, on checks averaging 50 or 60 dollar.

Separate checks. Impatience. Spoiled children.

From the outside looking in, Christians as a group aren't particularly attractive.

Tomorrow is my day off. The teens and I will attend the festival and I'll do my best to model generousity and patience to the staff at the park.
