Well, we did it. Vacation Bible School 2007 is in the History books. And, or course, it had all the earmarks of any other epic event: There were balloons – no helium; the adults from the 60’s would not have left them alone There was a man in a beard – a $5 beard from the local trick shop There were sugared-up kids – some didn’t even hit the floor as they bounced off the walls There were cars made out of toilet tissue rolls – these were a stroke of genius There were dead cows – don’t call the ASPCA, these were left over from the Egyptian plaques There were musical chairs – ah the sweet sound of Elder Gene’s voice. There were songs – I can’t get them out of my head. I’m going to sue. There was a heartbreaking story of a child with a boil on his _ _ _ _ - don’t worry it was popped. There was noise – A jet engine is around 115 db. Jet engines are sissies. There was chaos – of Biblical proportions. There were tears - mostly from the adults because of the noise and the chaos. There were children; there were dedicated workers; there was the Lord; shake them all together and what do you got? – Ministry, Ministry, Ministry I watched adults come in from jobs that should have leveled them for the day. I watched them take a deep breathe, put a smile on their face, and greet the children with joy in their hearts. You can’t do that without the Lord. Thank you Jesus for getting us through it – and thank you Jesus for putting us through it!!
