Discoveries...

Today at VBS the theme was thankfulness and how Jesus gives us the ability to be thankful. I am a team leader in charge of 10 kids (4, 5, and 6 graders) and it is alot of fun being able to interact with them in games and crafts and bible stories. I want this to be something they remember as they get older, that VBS was fun and they had a good leader that payed attention to their every word and was truly invested in what they are doing. All I hope is that this is something that will shape their future steps into walking with God the rest of their lives and knowing that He is real and loves them and desires to be with them...

At the end of the day we had like a little debriefing where we just talked about the day and what we learned as we prepared to go and end in the main sanctuary for service. So one of the questions I had asked them was what are they thankful for. If I remember correctly 5 of the kids first response was they were thankful for their cell phones... Cell Phones... seriously! I dont remember exactly what I woulda been thankful for in that age, but it sure wasn't cell phones. Something is a little disturbing about that answer... But with times changing and technology such a huge part of our culture should I really be that surprised...
