Goliath!



Last week we had a vacation bible school (escuela biblica de vacaciones) just before all the kids here started back to school. It went very well with a large turn-out of kids from the neighborhood. The theme this year was "Soldados de Cristo," or soldiers of Christ, and it focused on the Armor of God from the passage in Ephesians 6. Michael helped lead the songs that we all learned and I helped with the littlest ones (Noah's age group). Noah likes to sing the songs we learned. I sometimes hear him try on his own one that includes the sound "toc, toc, toc" or "knock, knock, knock", so I help him sing through it.
Anyway, on the last night, we had a special closing ceremony, and the youngest kids got to wear their "armor." Noah was delighted to wear it and immediately made the connection that it looked like the armor that Goliath was wearing in his storybook Bible - his absolute favorite story. Just thought you'd enjoy seeing him standing proud in his "Goliath Armor."
