This was our Men's Bible study. They meet once a month, last Friday of the month. Yesterday was a gentleman named Ron. I am sorry I didn't get his last name. but I had a chance to hear about his life. Pretty much it all came down to what he is doing now. Not how he made his money or all the great things he has done in his life. Him and his wife work with students and grow ups that are dealing with people that want to kill themselves. How to work through it and how to help the ones that are willing to do it too. It is sad of the stories we hear about on the news and friends and family that have had to deal with such things. His son was willing to do such a thing. So these people have first hand knowledge of it. I am sorry to say I had to go back to work, so I didn't hear the end of the story.
This was our Last Day of VBS. Hey the week flew by and the results was fantastic. Hey there was around 600 children here for this week and boy they had so much to do and fun. Sometimes I look on and say, This is a lot of work for one week. But at the end it really does pay off to see these kids eyes pop open and say wow that was so much fun and how did we do this? It was by His grace and love we have for the children As our day was winding down. The parents came in at the end and had a chance to see just a little of what the students were part of. Boy they sure filled up the theater too.
So right after this, we as staff and the students leaders had to put this place back together again. Which I had a chance to be part of. It was so neat to see how many students leaders stayed to help us break down. From 1:00 to 3:30pm this place was some what back to normal. The real funny part was it took us over a week to set everything up and make sure it was ready for them on Monday.
I am so happy I had a chance to be part of this last week and like I said before to see their smiling faces each and to hear they just being kids.
