VBS Was Great!

We had a terrific group of 3rd Graders last week and I enjoyed working with them very much!

Vacation Bible School Preparation

Our Third Grade Department teachers met last night for the second time and I'm taking on the arrival and departing activities, letting the women do the teaching this year. I have mixed feelings about the themes LifeWay comes up with each year and do again this year. It is "Agency D3" or a detective/spy theme which they have adapted pretty well to detective work of proving who Jesus is. (See video at the above link.) I'll report during or after our First Baptist Nashville week, June 9-13, with my opinion of how it goes. As always, it will be fun to work with third graders.

Living Healthy Like Daniel

Pastor Frank started a 3-sermon series on living healthy today with a message about Daniel whom The Daniel Plan is named after. I completed that study in March and it is a great way to focus on a healthy lifestyle. I lost 15 pounds, eating better and I'm more active with daily exercise routines. New classes are starting next Sunday.

You can see the video of the sermon online at http://firstbaptistnashville.org/media/streaming-services-and-events and while there check out our wonderful Easter Service with the best music of just about any church anywhere!

But mostly I'm glad this is "The Year of Health" at our church and believe that we as followers of Christ should be leading the way on healthy living in the most unhealthy and obese country in the world. Healthy living is definitely one of my focuses this year!
