Daily again
Just a few notes from the life of…
The wonderful folks from Banner Elk, NC got a VBS going in good form this morning. We were limping along with 4 then 5 then 8 kids in Bible school, and today when they got going, there were thirteen kids of sundry sizes. We had them from pre-K to going into 7th grade. Quentin thought it was great fun, and says he loves it. Helps that there was a little boy about his age, so, “I made a friend, Grandma!”
The folks from Banner Elk brought the puppets, and the kids were painting picture frames today. They had digital photos made with “FlamA” the puppet flamigo. Activities, crafts, stories, well, a bit of a miracle seeing as how it came within a whisker of having the plug pulled a couple weeks ago. Anytime they heard, “Be obedient” they were to respond with “Hang 10!” They never quite got that going, but tomorrow they should be on to the next … “Be.. loving or whatever.”
This grandma is surely low energy. I came home and crashed. But it was a lot of fun. The kids from Banner Elk are doing a great job.
Proverbs 4: 10 - 13
Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
I guide you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
How quickly I forget what we’ve done. Tara asked me to go with she and Cameron to the children’s museum on the Gulf Coast in May after the first graders went from school. It’s photographer’s heaven. The little boat with the trawling nets and plastic sea life here were wonderful for Cameron. He got to play fisherman for quite a whle.
Politics? Oil? Financial melt down? We do live in interesting times.
