Village Church Kids Ten Years Ago

I’m very happy for the church, but it has made me sentimental about all the many happy memories I have from eight wonderful years on staff there.

I know some of my friends there follow my blog so I thought they’d enjoy seeing what their teenagers looked like ten years ago! I still know the names of most of the kids in this video. Wow, does time go by fast! I miss them…
