July 20

Today was VBS Celebration Sunday at church. There was a post-service lunch and the brositos sat with some of their friends-slash-fellow volunteers, who they've known practically since birth. Because they're all teenage boys, hyjinx and hilarity broke out, as this image suggests.

But this post isn't entirely devoted to their goofy guy time. (Although it does make me smile to see them having a good time together and with others.) It always moves me deeply to hear the kids singing and talking about Jesus and who He is; it moved me when my own kiddos were campers and it still moves me now that they're youth volunteers.

So as I stood and listened to them singing their VBS songs and displaying their excitement in ways that only kids can, my heart leapt in my chest. It's a blessing to see the Gospel making an impact on the next generation.
