Their VBSpectacular

I nabbed the fortuity to call upon CFBC's Vacation Bible School (VBS) graduation the Friday evening prior. 'Twas a must-accomplish for VBS occupies a special cranny in my corazรณn since 2004, and I had been awaiting this year's with nonpareil elation since last year's wrapped up. As I candidly observed from the audience's point of view for the very first time, my senses were awashed by the buckets of grace doused throughout the program's entirety, as I witnessed with an awestruck heart people of all ages, from the teeny toddlers to the more mature adults, exhibit their biblical truths know-how acquired and applied throughout the week. Not only did the sassy students (all whom I miss mightily) flabbergast me 'cause of how much they've physically grown and how God used 'em remind me of the imperativity to have faith like a child,
but God specifically used this year's magnificent staff to unveil to me much of His glory in how He provides by raising up spankin'-new leaders, and continuing to mold each of them to serve like He did. 'Twas a smidgen saddening and surreal not to be on staff this year as CrossView is my blessed home now, but I am ever grateful for eerthang God taught me through VBS o'er the years, first as a high school student who'd never heard the gospel till then, to the unparalleled blessing of being a veteran teacher, song leader, and puppeteer. And, jeepers, 'twas a spiffy privilege to be wheedled into appending you Saddle Ridge Ranchers in singsong and dancin dancin' on the stage.Dearest CFBCians, I've missed you all so. I praise God for the paramount work He is doing in and through y'all. You have, are, and shall continue to bless so many souls for His kingdom and glory alone! Praying for you, for always.
