Wow, what a week!
Emceeing a week of VBS is quite exhausting as some of you know well yourselves. I had a blast!
Tonight one group raised $115 for the offering meaning that I would fall victim to 23 water balloons at the close of the evening. Those 23 hit their mark very well tonight and I was left cold and wet.
In all, the kids raised over $500 this week for Nicaragua! That’s a new record for our church’s VBS offering!
Tonight’s “special guest” brought some interesting reptiles that the kids LOVED!
Most exciting, tonight, at least 2 kids made first-time commitments to Jesus Christ with their small-group leader! I had the opportunity to pray with both of them just moments after they made that decision! What a privilege!
Pictures from our wonderful Amazon Expedition VBS are here: DAY 1 | DAY 2 | DAY 3 | DAY 4 | DAY 5
After being pelted with 10 water balloons tonight (yes, one group raised over $50 for their offering tonight!) I was able to enjoy some fine moments with “Rose” the boa.
I didn’t die.

If you didn’t know already, the pictures from our 2-weeks in Pennsylvania are available here.
Here’s a slideshow for those who hate clicking:
Here are some of my favorites:
We arrived safe-and-sound in Central Pennsylvania yesterday evening at my parents’ home! The drive yesterday was LONG, but worth the effort and of course it was fun to drive through the mountains – one of my favorite places to drive is in Penna.
We left Mukwonago on Wednesday afternoon and arrived at my in-laws late that evening. We got a few hours of restful sleep before hitting the road Thursday morning and are enjoying ourselves here in Penna. Today was a day full of sightseeing. We visited quite a few markets and other shops that Mom and Dad frequent and I’ve already consumed two amazing hoagies since arriving here last night! What a treat!
Tonight’s agenda includes lots of FIRE. A bonfire and the igniting of those two bags of fireworks I picked up in Indiana during Yesterday’s trip! I can’t wait.
Also tonight we’re having homemade tacos with Bob & Lisa Smith AND my Uncle David, Aunt Bea (Sheets) are coming up from the Baltimore/Washington DC area along with my cousin Bethany and her husband Joel (whom we haven’t yet met). We’ll have a house-full and will have a blast enjoying this side of the family that we don’t get to spend a lot of time with usually!
Some pictures from the trip so far are here. Pictures include our quick visit with Aunt Sher at the Oasis Travel Stop in Chicago and a quick pee-break at the French’s house in Warsaw!
Hopefully I’ll find the ability to update again before we head out for the camp on Monday morning!
