Field Notes #29: Comet!... Starship!...

Yet again, I should be in bed (and will be very soon, trust me). Tonight was the last night of Vacation Bible School at Hill's Chapel. Our Bible story today was about the blind beggar, and we also learned about comets, so all our stories and activities had something to do with one or both of those things. For my part, the suggested games turned out to be a little too complicated, but one thing that worked well was playing "Marco, Polo" but changing it to "Comet, Starship." I know, I'm the most creative person you've ever met. Anyway, the point I tried to convey was that if you're blind, you have to listen to know where you're going and where people are, and Jesus listened to the blind beggar. All in all, we had a good time, hopefully the kids learned something, and now I have the "Galactic Blast" theme song stuck in my head. Check out this short slideshow I put together of select photos I took over the course of VBS:
