VBS

Happy hump day, Wednesday, blazing bright blue sky,  middle of the week day.  Birds are busy taking care of bird business and insects are creating a new harmonic organic rock opra just for me!  Two weeks out of every Summer in the late 1960's and early 1970's the ladies of Bethany Christian Church in Corpus Christi, Texas put their heart, soul and lots of elbow grease into  preparing  age appropriate Bible lessons, (my favorite was the book of Ruth. The book of Job I thought was horrifying and not age appropriate for anyone!) organizing volunteer, groovy, teenagers to keep the young ones busy with games like Duck, Duck  Goose, preparing daily homemade church lady fancy sandwiches, car pools and clean up for the once a year Vacation Bible School.  I think now it would be referred to as church day camp.  Back then there were enough stay at home Mom's and Grandmothers to pull off such a huge wonderful blessing for all the neighborhood children.   Most of those ladies have passed on and I believe are enjoying lots of jewels in their crowns.  I still remember those Bible verses...well some of them.  I sure do treasure the memories.  kisses
