This has been a long, but fun, day. Our church (First United Methodist Church of Jenks, OK - JUMC) has been getting ready for vacation Bible school. I'm going to be an Astronaut in Marvin's Spectacular Spaceship. Lots of people doing a lot of work. There are rooms to decorate, copies to make, registrations to take and Time Machines to build! What's it all for? Are we just doing Church busywork? Is this all just a distraction from the Kingdom? I don't doubt that the kids are worth it; what I wonder is whether we really reach them. Out of the 120 that we'll have at VBS, how many will develop new, or deeper, walks with the Lord?
What am I talking about? Each one we touch, even if it's just a few, is of infinite value. The Lord can work through us; it's up to us to let Him. We can't do the work ourselves; it's His. So, I pray that we adults be available, and transparent, so the kids can see Him through us. And help us have a ton of fun too. JUMC could use a few good laughs after the last year.
