I've had a great week at "Outrigger Island" with a group of 3rd and 4th grade students who kept me hopping! Summer wouldn't be summer without VBS, and I enjoy it as much as an adult as I did as a kid.I never cease to be amazed at the open hearts of children to accept the message of the Gospel. This week we focused on the basics: God is real; Jesus, God's Son, is the only way to Heaven; there is absolute truth and it can be found in the Bible; our actions show what we believe -- timeless truths for kids and adults. We had some fun -but forgettable -music, but one song will stay with me: "The Word" was absolutely beautiful. (Did I say forgettable? "Y-E-S to VBS" keeps rapping away in my head!)
As much as I loved interacting with the kids, another special blessing was seeing so many young adults from my 20-30-something Sunday school class involved - from leading worship, to teaching, to serving refreshments. The week would not have been the same without them!

It's going to be so much fun to read your blog! So glad you decided to do this! I have always thought that you were a gifted writer (no pressure though!!).
When we were in Montana, the kids took in a couple days of VBS at Darby...they used this curriculum. The songs were very fun!
Your Brooke and Brayden are growing like crazy...so pretty and handsome. When will be get to see you again?
Much love to you all...
