VBS: Second Night

VBS just gets better and better! Here are some observations and highlights...

• The kids and volunteers know where to go on the second day...WAAAAAY less confusion!
• Twelve more kids tonight!!
• Scott Moore looks great in a turban.
• I love how the kids have now become familiar with you and so they will give little waves as they pass by.
• The same girl that hugged Troy last night came down the aisle to hug me in the middle of singing a song at the closing tonight! That'll melt your heart!
• Some folks from Narcotics Anonymous use our building once a week. Tonight they walked into a room full of vines, animals, and assorted VBS crafts!! I ran back in and apologized profusely, but they were very accomodating. "As long as we have a coffee pot," they said, "we're just happy we can use your building. And it looks like you guys are having lots of fun!"
• Met more great folks from Omaha Church of Christ. Our members are building great relationships with them. Unity ran high.
• Kids were hugged and God was praised...can it get much better than that?

VBS: First Night

Sorry it's been so long...I guess life has been busy, but boring (can those words go together?)

Vacation Bible School was great tonight! Here are some highlights...

• Troy Thornton soaking up a hug from a little girl after he sang about what she was most thankful for.
• Two churches uniting to do something in the name of Christ (Omaha Church of Christ joined us this evening, and they are GREAT folks!!!)
• Tootsie Rolls (the fat ones, not the little skinny ones!)
• Getting hugs and high fives at the end.
• One of Southwest's little boys came up after our "Bring a Friend Challenge" and declared, "Tomorrow morning, I am going to wake up, pass out flyers all morning, and then collect food for the homeless. And if anyone is scared, I will give them my stuffed animals."
• 50+ kids getting extra love and attention from God-loving adults.
• Jesus smiling as He was adored by young hearts.
