This week is VBS at the Pitman church of Christ. Each year our church puts on a Vacation Bible School for the children along with an adult component featuring, as our minister said yesterday "an exceptionally gifted adult speaker". This year we have John Clayton from Does God Exist? as our speaker. John is a retired high school science teacher and a former atheist and his sessions so far have been captivating.
As a parent, I'm almost choked up with VBS this year. My boys are 54 weeks apart. Last year they both spent VBS in the nursery, but this year Joshua (who will be 3 next week) was able to participate in the children's program. Just before the session started, we sat him in the 2 year old pew and he sat there quietly with his friends. The teens from the church that are handling our VBS escorted the children downstairs. When I took Joshua to bed last night, he could actually sing most of the words to "Jesus Loves Me". He looks forward to going back for tonight's session.
