In the midst of everything that’s been going on this week, Jon and I have been teaching Vacation Bible School at Jon’s internship parish. The theme is “Zoom Zone” and is a time travel adventure back to Bible days. I’m doing the “Praystation” and Jon is doing “ZoomTunes” (i.e. I’m teaching kids how to pray and Jon is doing music) and it’s been a good distraction from everything else in our lives. I can go and be silly and do songs and also teach kids about the importance of prayer. If I could only memorize the ones they give me to do…

Things I’ve learned:
-Fruit Loops stick to your ears if you lick them.
-Going all the way down to your knees during the Chicken Dance will alert you to muscles in your legs that you didn’t know you had.
-JESUS!!! is the answer to everything.
-Gummy LifeSavers make good rings.
-There are lots of ways that we can serve God with our hands.
-Jesus loves the little children and will tell the adults to be quiet so that the kiddies can be blessed.
-Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
-It *IS* possible to stump the pastor.
-Pastors are fun to watch when they get silly with the kids.
