I was singing songs and doing Bible stories and stuff this morning in our Day Camp VBS. Something occurred to me: I have been doing this same thing for over 45 years.
Back in the mid 60’s, I was always the one in church that led the VBS songs and such. And I have done it ever since.
And the funny thing is they are mostly the same songs.
This Little Light of Mine, It Isn’t Any Trouble Just To SMILE, others. It is a constancy in my life that is truly amazing.
The funny thing, too, is that the kids are almost exactly the same, even thought the setting is dramatically differently.
In the beginning, it was in the Church of Christ. Then I did it in the Christian Church, then Assembly of God, and now the Foursquare Church.
Life changes again and again, yet it remains the same: singing VBS songs with a bunch of children in a church auditorium. It is almost as if it were a time loop, repeating over and over.
I guess that I will be doing it the rest of my life. There are worse ways to spend your life than singing songs with children.
I wonder what the teenaged boy at Westhaven Church of Christ in Texas City would think if he knew he would be doing this for the next 40 years?

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
