"Behold children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. . ." Psalm 127:3-5

VBS Blues?
After a very full two weeks of VBS, I thought we might experience the "post-VBS let-down blues." It has actually been a nice, relaxing day here at home. Naomi is donned in her blue t-shirt ready for more "BBS" (after wearing it every day for two weeks she knows what to put on in the morning!).
Our church hosts a rather unusual VBS in that it encompasses the entire body and provides an opportunity to work together. The "main attraction", if you will, is the elementary program for grades k-6th. There were over 350 elementary-aged children on campus from 8:45am until 12:00pm rotating through music, crafts, recreation and group time where they learned from Dr. Ken Ham's material, The 7 C's, covering Genesis to Revelation. For the teachers and other 110 adults on campus, there is a preschool program provided for some 66 little ones. The truly unique aspect revolves around the youth program. Over 120 Junior High and High School students live, eat, sleep, and work around campus during the two weeks. The students assist with the morning program and then after lunch their day is filled with "service projects". They have devotions early in the morning and chapel time during the evening hours. What I am most thankful for is the high-view of God that our directors and Pastors present from nursery to mature adult workers. If I were better at technology I could link you to the music video "Evolution is Lame" - but just type it in and you'll find it. Perhaps I'll be able to upload videos soon!
