SUMMER-WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?

Oh, where has the summer gone? At first, it seemed to go slowly, but now it's time for school to start again next Friday!
Let's see....
We FINALLY got to go away for a WHOLE week, which we haven't been able to do for a couple of years because it's so very hard to coordinate between my work schedule and happenings at the church (deaths, births, weddings, etc). We went to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN. Awsome, awsome times!
Then, we had our VBS last Saturday. This year, I decided to go "Script-less". We built a replica of the Tabernacle in the wildnerness. We also learned about how the Israelites were divided into 4 camps, within which were 3 tribes each. As I studied for this VBS, I realized how much God wants everything done decently and in order. He is NOT the author of confusion! The children visited the camp of DAN specifically. Here, they visited each tribe, where they learned about food in the Bible, clothing and leather.
Of course, we have had lots of summer fun along the way-swimming, playing, etc.
I hope you all have enjoyed your summer as well. Now it's time to start thinking about, yes! Christmas!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
