So, this past week was VBS at my church. Everyday, from 9am-12noon, I got to hang out with some pretty awesome kids. (I also got to babysit the two greatest little boys for the past two weeks! I hope I can keep hanging out with them for the next few weeks since I'm only in school for two hours each day.) We made crafts, sang songs, played ridiculous water games, and most importantly, listened to Bible stories. I always forget how much I love to hear Bible stories when they're being told to children. I feel like I can understand them better and they bring me back to a simple, child-like faith. Although I wish the Bible was spoon-fed to me all the time, it's nice to get back into a Bible "study" that's more age appropriate.
I was convinced into teaching the college sunday school class since our regular teacher, Bobbie Jo, will be filling in as interim youth pastor for the summer. (On a side note, she's so amazing and I love her alot. I'm glad she wanted me to teach the class...as much as I resisted. Whether she really thinks I can do it and be good at it or she just really wanted someone to teach while she was filling in as interim, I guess I won't know. I hope it's the first.) It works out that we decided on a study of Galatians and the summer school class I'm taking is a Galatians book study. I start this Sunday with teaching Sunday School and my class starts Monday.
There are a lot of people that I miss right now. But it's ok. Hopefully I can see them soon. This will be short but it's just a little update and a little brighter than the last one.
I'm also trying to do a better job of being more open to talking about religion with the family and friends. My brother's girlfriend and I just had a pretty good conversation about stuff. She believes that all religions are OK and that as long as you're a good, moral person, you'll go to Heaven. That's one of the worst things to believe, I think. I'm trying very hard to have a better attitude and set a good example for those around me. Being with the kids this week that I knew were always watching me helped out with that alot.

Love you.

If I was, you know...

...would anybody miss me?
