In a couple weeks, I'll be teaching VBS after a realllllly long hiatus. As in haven't taught it since our newly law-degreed daughter was in elementary school. So yeah, many moons ago. But I'm game. We had a curriculum meeting this week and I'm excited about all of the fun things the kiddos will get to do while being immersed in God's message of hope, love and faithfulness. Hands and feet of Jesus, y'all. If we aren't pouring the Gospel into the younger generations, then we're failing at what our Lord and Savior told us to do to further His kingdom here on earth.
By no stretch of the imagination do I consider myself a crafty girl. So when the VBS coordinator asked me if I could make a paper mache sun with some rays as part of the decor, I gave it my best shot. The deep mustard yellow paint job is absolutely retina-burning bright. There's no way the kids can miss it. I'll follow up my efforts by decorating our classroom in an "Under the RED Sea" theme to go with the second day's lesson about Moses leading his people out of Egypt.
On a completely separate note... the husband and I continue to try new restaurants near our lake house. Taco Tuesday at a local fish place was definitely a winner. But a foray to a noodles and dumplings place, where everything is made fresh in a see-thru kitchen set up, was one of our recent favorites. Good thing I'm still logging 25 miles of walking every week to burn off some of the delicious calories we're consuming.
