Today's adventure didn't start out as cheerful as the rest. Everyone was feeling tired and grumpy. It ended up being successful though. Today's story was much deeper than the rest.
Peter and John walked by a crippled man begging for money. Instead of giving them silver or gold they grabbed him by the hand and declare "In the name of Jesus Christ, you are healed." We showed the kids that although we are not all crippled physically we are crippled. We are crippled by sin. It's going to be okay though because Jesus came and took the punishment for our sins.
At the end of the day we did another skit. It wasn't specifically the theater people though. It was just volunteers. In fact, I was the only one out of our group to do it. Kirstie told the story as 3 of us walked up looked at Alex aka Jesus, and then nailed him to the cross. It was very cool. At the end Jesus came, lifted us up, and hugged us as a sign of our forgiveness.
I love the kids there even the Cesaer boys who constantly try to beat me up. They are fraternal twins. Will is bigger than Sam which I found out kind of upset Sam. He makes up for it with his amazing karate skills though. Will missed his opportunity to sneak into the Roman soldier's hide out today. We distracted Alex by everyone in our group, including the crew we had at the time, through cups of water on him. I guess we'll get it tomorrow. It was quite fun. I'm not worried.
The car dancing to and from VBS is definitely one of my favorite parts.
