This week is VBS at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church - the small-town church here in Frontenac that we've become a part of. (The transition from Presbyterian to Lutheran is ongoing and something for another post!!) My girls have never been a part of VBS before because we were out of town last year when it happened in C'dale and I was really excited to get them involved - I even volunteered to bring sea-themed snacks for the kids everyday (also something for another post!) Maggie especially is very excited to go each day and all morning asks when it's time for bible school, tells the stories she has learned so far, talks about her teacher and the kids she's met, and sings the two songs her class is memorizing to sing for the congregation on Sunday.
Monday after the first day of VBS she came to me looking a bit puzzled. She said, "Mom, is Wool bad?" I was shocked! Wool is the Best Thing Ever!! Why would she think it's bad? Indignant I gasped, "What are you talking about??"
"Well," she said, "In our song it says 'We were drowning in an ocean of wool. Then came Jesus, now to Heaven we'll go.' So is wool bad?"
"Not WOOL, Maggie!" I laughed. "Woe! Drowning in an ocean of WOE."
Although, someone might perchance drown in the ocean of my knitting stash if they aren't careful...
