Wow! What a week at Vacation Bible School...150 kids...music, games, crafts, yummy snacks, missions, laughing and Pastor Dave's daily talent show. What a great time.

I love VBS but for reasons you might not expect...high school kids (and beyond-this year we had several college students working as well as our perennial favorite - Edgar who is well beyond college but LOVES being with the kids at VBS)! I love pouring into them so that they can pour into kids and impact their lives. This year was EXCEPTIONAL...

Dave and I can't stop talking about the impact of the ParenTeen seminar by Dr. Chap Clark this past week. Dr. Clark, Professor of Youth and Family Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary, did an incredible job of helping us understand some of the challenges that are faced by today's teenagers. We are so grateful that he has made this seminar available via the Montrose Church podcast. I have been listening to it again this week and continuing to gain insight into my kids, as well as myself.  In addition to the podcast, you can find more information in the book Disconnected, by Chap and Dee Clark, or visit www.parenteen.com...
