PMCCC was hopping tonight, as our 9th VBS
drew to a close, culminating in the traditional pot-providence, (I don't
believe in luck) followed by a children's presentation of what they learned
during the week.
This year's theme, inspired by the 2004 summer Olympics in Greece, was
called Son Games, and as usual, the folks at
Gospel
Light put together a wonderful
program. Over a hundred children participated in the program, and they
were joined by missionaries from Greece!
Although Kathy and I did not volunteer this year, we know all too well
how much work is involved, having organized and run the Vacation Bible
School ministry in the past.
We are thankful for the many volunteers, who gave generously of their time
to share their love with our children and the children of this community.
Thank you!

Michael
Sampson revealed to the world
that I was celebrating an
anniversary
of my 29th birthday. July is a
month full of birthdays in our home. Recently, I helped two of my
daughters celebrate their
Wiggles
Theme birthday. Kathy "volunteered" me to be
Captain
Feathersword, the fun-loving,
kindhearted, singing and dancing pirate. So for the Sampson family, here
I am as the captain...
I love watching pirate movies.
In fact, just last night, Kathy and I watched the
Pirates of Tortuga.
I have a large collection of pirate movies I like to watch, including,
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Crimson Pirate, and even the VeggieTales
Pirates who don't do anything. I have no problem dressing up to
play the part of a pirate, but I draw the line at a dancing pirate. (I
have my professional image to maintain.)
For those of you who may be unfamiliar
with The Wiggles, they are a group of entertainers from Australia, who
for the past 13 years have been entertaining children, young and old[er],
as they encourage them to eat their fruit salad, hot potatoes, cold spaghetti,
mashed bananas, and crunchy munchy honey cakes.
The Wiggles are quite popular in our
home, surpassed only by the
VeggieTales.
(That's another story!) If you have children under the age of 6 in your
home, then you have an excuse to watch the wiggles. Highly recommended.
Oh, thanks for the birthday greeting, Michael!
... the table...
Kathy had to travel to Los Angeles recently; she left the four girls in
my care for the day. As usual, when dad's in charge, there are all sorts
of adventures (and sometimes, mischief) to be found.
After we completed our lessons, the decision was made to dump out a bucket
of worms we had for bait and examine them. Suddenly, the idea came to me
to let the girls build a race track and race them.
There is never a shortage of learning opportunities in our home.

Since you are reading this on the web, I wonder if this qualifies as an
Internet worm report?
