VBS

Booster, booster be a booster. Don't be grouchy like a rooster. Booster, booster be a booster and boost our Bible school!

I don't know what that means. I never have. But it's fun to sing. We are two days into our four day VBS (or as Rainey calls it, PBS). It's a Jewish marketplace theme. Our auditorium has been turned into a marketplace with 7 different shops and the kids are enjoying making all sorts of things at the pottery shop, carpentry shop, weaving shop, musical instrument shop, spice shop, jewelry shop and candy shop. They also attend synagogue school and play at the village playground.

So many people have worked hard to make this a fun week and it has been so far. We need to take that spirit of cooperation and work ethic into other areas of ministry. Can I get an AMEN?

It's so different than the VBS I attended as a kid. I have memories of fun singing times, long periods trapped in a classroom, stale cookies and drinking bland kool-aid in a communion size cup in an attempt to re-hydrate after playing in the parking lot in 100 degree weather. (Insert grouchy old man voice) We also had to walk to the church building up hill both ways...and we liked it that way. We loved it!

Pregnancy Update: All is well. We are back with our regular doctor and coming to the end of the first trimester. Steph is getting some energy back and feeling better all the time. She still has to administer two shots a day and that is getting OLD, but so far so good. Praise God!
