VBS and A/Cs

What is the deal with A/C problems during VBS? It is becoming a yearly ritual, and I can predict when the A/C will go out next year also. Just tell me the dates of VBS.

Special thanks to Teeter for his expertise in straightening out some kinks in the thermostats. Thanks to Pops and Bill M for their help in getting the thermostats going as well.

I know the nursery was glad to have some cooler air today.

VBS is for my kids

How do you measure the success of VBS? Prospects? Baptisms?

I'll tell you how I measure it. Both Richard and Caleb said Monday afternoon that they couldn't wait to get to VBS that night. Getting them to church is like pulling teeth, but VBS has been a great encouragement this way. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered for VBS. You have made my kids excited about hearing about God's word and being at church. I can't tell you how excited that makes me. Thus, I consider VBS a success because of my kids and their reactions.

Also, it is a great blessing for me to watch my daughter Hannah grow up right before my eyes. Her leadership in the worship time has been fun to watch. I thank Ruby for her example and willingness to help Hannah. Once again, seeing my own kids in actions make me feel that VBS is a success.

Thanks again to everyone who has loved on my kids this week. That love flows right to my heart.

VBS and anything else doesn't really mix

VBS is always a tough week for all of the volunteers involved. I am feeling it this week as well because I am trying to keep up with an online class--so I am coming home after VBS and typing notes and administrating tests and assignments this week. Haven't gone to bed before midnight. And it is only Monday (feels like Wednesday already).

So, I want to pause and thank all of our VBS volunteers for the sacrifice of time and energy you make this week. You make it difficult for me to outwork you, but I will do my best.
