VBS Was Out Of This World

Oh my! I believe we have been visited by a creature from a far out galaxy. Ali Anne is her name. Yes, VBS, was out of this world as you can imagine. We had a great time exploring God's handiwork in the entire universe. We talked about everything revolving around the SON. We had the help of Cosmo Joe and an army of workers as well. 32 kids showed up to blast off into the last frontier. It was really a wonderful day--tiring though.

It was more than just a day of work. There was much work that went into it. This is the second VBS program that I have written. I already have inspiration for a third.

One little girl went home and asked her unchurched parents how to pray over food. They did not know how to answer her so they called her grandmother. Others said they really liked our Church. It was such a blessing. We planted seeds there that day. I don't think I will ever look up at the sky quite the same way again. It is amazing what God has created. The earth alone testifies of His glory and power, beyond that there is a universe that knows its place and function. How small are we humans, how insignificant, yet He loves us so dearly. If we could but find our place around the SON! It was a great VBS.

The Love of Money

Oh, My heart aches. *not the least bit serious as you all well know* Oh!! The pain. Me, oh my. *blows nose* I am just devastated that my friends *wah...wah* only pass by my blog as if it is boring *snore...oops I did it to myself*. But you promise $100 and everyone sticks their little head in there. Oh, woe is me. You really should go back and check the last post. My devious little mind has been at work. *HA! HA! HA!!!!!!!* We all know that the love of money is the root of all evil. But as promised I will have to keep my word and send the $100 bill. *See comment on prior.

A Day Off! How Wonderful!!!

Alas. I have a day off of sorts. I have been working on VBS material which will be next Saturday. It is the Out of This World VBS. We are blasting off to a good time. I just hope I am not too spaced out! *snort...snort* Just as soon as the grass dries enough I will finish mowing. My wonderful parents came to take care of that yesterday when a storm blew in about mid-way through it. My dad was afraid of some lightning or something. It was just a good thing they stopped. As soon as they were leaving it began to rain buckets as we say here in the south. The gauge (isn't that so old manish to check a rain gauge?) said it rained 3.25 inches. What a shower!

Let' s see. What else? I know. My blog was invaded by some of the campers from my class. The same ones I was talking about being bored. People really do read this stuff we put here. Imagine that. They thought that was funny. I know them all too well. I know that no one could be bored by something I was involved in. The mistakes alone will keep you entertained. Yeah. I know you are bored reading this right now. In fact you probably did not get this far. I will give a hundred dollar bill to the first one who reads down this far and posts a comment. Make that anyone. We will see who really reads this. *evil laugh HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA*

'Tis Strange

Sorry it has taken me so long to return to the ole click of the keys. It has been some time since I really posted something besides trying to appease my guilty conscience for not sharing my enlightenment with all of my blogger friends out there. Wasn't that a long sentence. I believe it was nearly as long as my day. I am so crazy. I need an assistant to book my appointments, visits, boosts, etc. I am terrible at overbooking. If only I could clone myself to accomplish all that I must. Then, there would be two of me, wouldn't that be scary *Oooh*shudder*

I am rising early to get tot he hospital for clinical time just to finish up my bachelor degree. Of course I finally had some freedom after years of oppression at the university and waited until the last minute or month rather to complete this during the summer. It is a self-learning course really. I do it at my own convenience. Why do we say that? When is it ever convenient to go volunteer my time that I already do not have?. It is really not volunteering, I am paying to be there. That is the crazy part! But oh, well. ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Aside from the time I am logging for clinic, an also working in camp this week. I am teaching a class on leadership--How to be a regional/general coordinator. I really am not stressing the position part as much as I am stressing what would be good attributes of any leader. I have really been blessed by this class although one of my former SS students said it was boring *huh! TEENAGERS* It is not run the isle material, but it is needful. I have been encouraged just being there and getting to teach them. I met a new boy that I had never seen today during class. We exchanged contact information. I thought that was so cool. I felt that I had been used of God to say something that really touched him. I miss being there full-time so badly.

This is so long. You would think that Rebecca Horne posted this. I am not sure what I thought was so strange when I began typing this. Isn't that strange. Oh, yes, I remember, I feel a different leading of God. I am not sure what is taking place. I just remain humble under the mighty hands of God. That is from a verse I have used in my class. I also talked about how David encouraged himself in the Lord when he was about to be stoned by the people. Sometimes encouragement must be self-induced. I have experienced that in this class. I have not encouraged myself really, but I have allowed the Word to be my encouragement. There is work to be done. I want to be a worker.

Digging Out!!

I am so sorry that I have had the same old, same old up for all of this time. I have been pitiful lately. I will continue in that path next week as well. I am teaching at camp, logging clinic hours, working full-time, household chores, writing VBS for Church! O, I did not realize I was this busy.

Since Wednesday at 10 am I have had the worst pain in my neck that radiates down my right shoulder. It really hurts. I am better today. Thank you, Jesus! I did not do anything different. I just got out of the car and could not turn my head straight. There is still some stiffness, soreness there.

I have had so little time to look at all of the great stuff on your blogs. Please forgive me. I will return someday.

I am without my normal whit at the present. There is really no point dragging this out into a lengthy boring post. So I bid you adieu.

I just wore spellcheck out on this thing. If I made any other stupid mistakes please disregard.

I'm Alive!!!!

Thank God for that. It has been very busy for me lately. The last time I was able to check my email and blog was on July 4. What happened to sweet independence. I have started my summer clinicals for MRI to finish up my bachelor degree and graduate the second time. The only problem with that is I work everyday as well. So I find myself at the hospital 12+ hours a day. I could do more, but I don't want to burn out. I could have started sooned, but I was burned out. I feel better now though (with the help and "encouragement" of my choleric wife. *laughs uncontrollably*

I then spent late nights finishing up on my SS/BTI program for convention. It was truly inspired, I sure could not have come up with all of that. There was a lot of work involved to pull the whole thing off. There was a large cast involved, too. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to be left to see it. I finnally got things in order for it. I had forgotten to make an important part of if. While I was talking to another brother during the devotion that was on before me, I realized the oversight. I ran back and made that thing without a problem. I knew I was anointed then. That would have taken me forever at home. God gave liberty for that program. There are times that it seems hard to preach like there just is not the freedom to say what needs to be said. I struggled through the first part, knowing it was from God but scared to death my knowing might get me in a great deal of trouble. Then I had some singers on program and there was a slight move of the Spirit. People did rise to their feet, but we just were not able to get to where we needed to be. Have you ever felt that way? God was present and blesse, but just enough that you knew there was something more He wanted. We were not able to get through at that point. I finished out the program and returned to my seat. It went well though.

The whole convention was like that. You could just tell that God was requiring more of us before we could progress. Nearly every message and boost had the same bones--UNITY and even RESTITUTION. There was a great deal of that that this weekend. We were urged to bury our hatchets. I leave that place feeling satisfied and at peace. I once wondered who would make things right with me. God did and that is all I need. I have had a spiritual healing this past weekend. It ended up being a very good convention.

Bro Smith even made Auxilliary appointments. I am now BTI and Evangelism coordinator. Bye, bye Sunday School. The funny thing is that was the one I had figured out what I was doing. Now I am starting all over again. *sigh* This is one of those so very long posts that i do not like to read. Perhaps I should have split it up. Oh, well, All's well that end well. Love you guys!!
