We had another great night at VBS. Not a large crowd, but that's to be expected since we were late planning the whole VBS thing anyway. I'm sure that will change next year. I had a little more trouble with the songs last night. It has been waaaaaaay too long since I have sung some of them so I'm a little rusty on the hand signs, hopefully my memory will come back tonight. Those little kids are so cute and some of the things they say just blow you away (in a good way). During the opening assembly last night we sang "B-I-B-L-E". I asked everyone, "Do you know what the Bible is?" and "Do you know what the Bible is about?". One little boy said "It's about Jesus". "That's right", I said, and as I was about to sing the song, he raised his hand and said "Jesus was hung on a cross!" That just melted my heart to hear him say that. Kids do listen. During the closing assembly I asked them to tell me something they learned in their classes (last night was about King Solomon). One girl raised her hand and said, "He had a lot of wives". Ha!! At least she learned something. You gotta start somewhere.
God bless all the women who have pulled this thing together in such a short time. Everything seems to be going very well and I expect this to be the beginning of an annual thing for the OAR church. Tonight I believe King Nebuchadnezzar will make his appearance.
