Vacation Bible School

We attended a large church in Fincastle while we were in Roanoke.  I would have preferred a smaller church personally, but the pastor was a great speaker and always had a good message and the children's program was excellent.  As a result, Will really enjoyed their Vacation Bible School.  They had petting zoos, water slides, bounce houses, boat rides, and zip lines!!  And I know he learned a lot too because afterwards during VBS at mom's church he raised his hand to answer the question "Who is Jesus and why do we want to learn about him?"  Will said, "because he's our creator, provider, protector, savior, and king!"  Which is what they focused on each night during our VBS.      

 

Lest I ever get carried away with being proud of my son, I'm always met squarely
with a reality check:  This is the Bible cover they decorated one night at VBS.
Yes, those are guns!!!  I was some relieved that at least they are pointing
at a deer (his granddad Mike would be proud!) but still -
Guns on a Bible cover!!!  I only hope his teacher was a hunter's wife!
