VBS

Tonight was the closing celebration for our VBS at church. This fella on the left is Bro. Tim. He is over the tv/radio ministry and is "the voice" of Grace Life. He does all the voiceovers so that's one voice we can all recognize. I've said it before but he is SO COOL. He always dresses up and plays some role in VBS. And he's a GREAT storyteller. Saying the pledges to the American Flag, Christian Flag and the Bible tonight made me think back to all those years I spent in VBS. There are a lot of things I'd change about growing up and I'm definitely not the biggest fan of Lynn Baptist Church; however, I wouldn't change for a second the 13 summers I spent going to Vacation Bible School and I am so thankful that Lynn Baptist Church provided that. Sally Pendley was always there on crafts, Mrs. Ann Baughn (who was about 103 when I met her) was always there teaching us the books of the Bible in order, and Mrs. Tidwell would be the Nauvoo bus driver for me and all the kids that lived around us. It was fun times. The songs, the verses we learned, and the fun we had were memories that I still cherish. OH and Bro. Matt told me Becky and I would have the 2nd Graders when Small Groups start next year. Looks like I'll have to learn how to entertain 7 year old instead of 5 year olds. Somehow I don't think they will think Ms. Kim is a genius for putting 2 strings on the floor and seeing who can jump the farthest. But I'm sure we'll be fine. Should be fun. :0)
