Let me just say that our UGSFAW summer program at church is unique, unusual, unreal and totally an FCCHB deal. We have experienced growth every year since we incorporated it into children's ministry. The kids look forward to it with great anticipation and excitement.
It was a Thursday and the kids were searching for stuff at UGSFAW that was wrong. Captains were wearing the wrong color. We ran out of the favorite snacks. The travel routes were going the wrong direction. Kids are really good at finding something that is out of whack and they were very aware and met the challenge.
The teams were gathering in the auditorium for closing and an earthquake hit. Not unusual considering where we live. Kids were entering the building and we were directing them out to the yard to sit on the grass. They were evacuated within 3 minutes. Pretty good considering we had over 600 of them.
We were out in the yard singing and chatting and keeping the kids calm (amazingly, they were unscathed and totally jazzed) while waiting for parents to pick them up when one little guy came up to me. With awe in his eyes he said "Wow, how did you do that?" I replied "Do what?" "The earthquake. That was another thing wrong at UGSFAW."
God has such a sense of humor.
