Cookies, Kool-Aid, And Kumbaya

Its VBS week...Robert loves Vacation Bible School and truthfully so do I. All those eager little faces wearing nametags and jumping around singing and dancing. The Bible Story, snack time crafts...I love all of it. I remeber making plaster of paris "fruit" of the spirit drinking red kool aid and eating cookies in the tiny churches my Dad pastored...all your "Sunday friends" there during the week. Somehow being there on a Monday morning was different than being there on Sunday morning.
Things are a little more advanced for Robert with a giant screen showing a themed DVD of worship music, dramatic retelling of the day's Bible lesson and navigating the normally calm halls of church with 150 other kids. Even so its the simple joys Robert seems to remember, the craft he made out of popsicle sticks, the lesson that he doesn't have to be afarid because God is always with us...its not just Kool-aid, cookies and Kumbaya anymore but it is definitley part of our summer tradition and we're excited. If you need me this week I'll be on a VBS adventure, or sleeping it off in the afternoon.
