VBS, iPhone3G S and Masturbation

Last week was such a great week and yet exhausting at the same time.  I know this sounds funny but I was really looking forward to today for many different reasons.  I always like the start of a new week and I look forward to what is going to happen.  I am sure the title of this blog through you off a little but let me explain.

First VBS was fun and exciting.  We had over 400 people here from children to servants and it was all for God's glory.  I have the best job of them all because with the help of my friends I get to lead worship every night.  We did songs like this little light of mine, making melodies and of course my favorite get down.  It is so much fun watching the children and adults do all of these silly moves for Jesus.  VBS brought some things I wasn't expecting.  I had my office destroyed.  I helped others destroy more offices.  The senior minister and I bombed some kids with water balloons.  I barley got any work done because the offices are crazy during VBS week.  I got to know many other people I rarely see a lot better.  On the last night I was wearing a coconut bra and a Hawaiian out fit to go with it.  Finally there was a little dance competition at VBS and I saw a guy do the worm which is always fun.  

Secondly I now know that the new iPhone 3G S is out and it looks really cool.  I have an iPhone and love it to death but am not will to spend more money on just a few features.  I would love to have it so if anyone out there would love to buy it for me as a gift then let me THANK YOU now.  

Finally onto the topic I am sure you are wondering about.  I had some students come to me and ask if masturbation was wrong.  I thought to myself, I have never mentioned this in a sermon, lesson or small group.  I decided to teach on this during our Focus groups and it went very well. All the students and adults really got something out of the conversation.  Some parents came to my class just because of the topic which is awesome.  I had one mom say, "You handled the subject better than anyone could have!"  That is a huge statement to make.  Now don't get me wrong there were some laughs and even jokes but we looked at what God's word says and we came up with what we believe is right.  I want to be the type of minister who doesn't shy away from any issue.  We say all the time that God has the answers but sometimes we are afraid of the questions.  I am thankful we could talk about that issue with dignity and love.    

Let's see what happens this week!!
