Vacation Bible School
This week is Vacation Bible School (VBS) week at the big Baptist Church down the road from Gretchen. I walk past the VBS on my way to the gym. Now, the very concept of VBS confuses me. Does it mean that you take a vacation from the bible or from school? Or is it a vacation from bible school and if so why is it held in a church? Is it a time were you are vacationing from the virtues? What is the point?I recall growing up and having a VBS in town. In fact for a couple of weeks in July or was in June there would be these random kids on campus and around town. They would show up, take over the gym, leave cigarette butts everywhere and generally cause trouble (like mathlete trouble). Their parents were nowhere to be found.
The VBS down the road--full of parents. As in I haven't seen that many cars at the church since, well the last time I was awake before 10am on a Sunday. If anyone can shed some light (the holy kind please) on this subject for me I would be much obliged. I know naught of these VBS things as I was raised as a heathen. Quickly to the fire to gavotte around!
