VBS Musings

This has been a rather busy week. Originally, I thought I was schleping out to Rochester all five days. But found out just today via my handy dandy Blackberry (yeah boy!) that the meeting was cancelled. The admin was nice enough to call but its always nice to have the real-time sync of the calendar.

This week is consumed with Vacation Bible School (VBS) over at Calvary Chapel Syracuse. Originally I was a group leader for the Mighty Meteors (4-5 yrs) but I got so wrapped up in the audio stuff that I had to let others handle it. It all worked out in the end. Brian and I had WAY too much fun putting together video and audio for the kids to enjoy. If only I would remember to SAVE files after editing them :-). We had lots of kids show up that we normally don't see so that is really good.

I remember learning about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ at a VBS meeting at a neighbor's house in Fayetteville, NY. Actually, it was two families putting this together. The one family's mom passed away suddenly some 2 years ago. It was a big blow to me because I knew this woman had something to do with my salvation and our families sort of grew up together. I and some other ladies worked with her over one summer while I was in college. Once she left the office to run errands, it was mayhem - no work was accomplished. And the owner was there! She is truely missed and was the rock for us in the office as well as for so many other people she touched in her life which included some Sudanese refugees just before her untimely death. Which, in this case, her death was merely a change in neighborhoods. She beat us home...

I guess that is why I like VBS so much...
