VBS

Vacation Bible School is pretty awesome at our church. There ends up being around 1,300 people here each day including leaders and kids. It's wild! I have a sweet job. I am basically the M.C. during the Opening and Closing General Sessions when all the kids are gathered in the Worship Center. My job is to transition and get people pumped up!!
CAN I HEAR YOU SCREAM!!!
I stayed up too late last night getting my new iMac all dialed in and transferring stuff from the MacBook over to the iMac. I'm loving that I have 250gb of hard drive on the new iMac. SO MUCH SPACE! But now I'm supposed to be getting kids pumped up and I haven't had coffee and I stayed up too late! I think a run to The Lost Bean is in order to make the Closing Session any good.
Our High School kids are so awesome to watch running the Games & Recreation part of VBS. They have totally taken ownership of it and I'm so proud of them. Our students from all three levels are being great leaders in up-front and behind-the-scenes ways. That's the best part of VBS for me.

You're doing a great job getting people pumped up! I actually had to take a break from screaming in closing session today because I was starting to go hoarse from all the yelling!

Too bad about that Tug of War Competition. How come you backed out of dying your hair? :)

I never agreed to dye my hair. That was all Matt.

Eric, thanks for all your hard work at VBS. I know its been tough for you....20 minutes at the beginning of the day...20 minutes at the end of the day. Get some rest this weekend buddy. :)
