using vacation bible school as free babysitting
Denomination, schmomenation, when our kids are out of school for the summer and we've suddenly got to fill eight weeks of time with activities, we Christians like to put aside our denominational differences and bounce our kids like ping-pong balls around the county to different Vacation Bible School programs.
We sent our kids to three different churches last summer, in part because our church refuses to hold Vacation Bible School. One day, my daughter L.E. came home from one of the more rural churches we had selected for our tour de VBS, and I asked her what she'd learned that day. Her response? "We watched The Little Mermaid movie." Hmm, I thought to myself, I'm not sure which part of the Bible Disney is taking that story from, but I've got to work all week, and God did make the oceans after all, and in a way, that movie is kind of similar to the Jonah
story ...
"Have a good time tomorrow, sweetheart."
