It's Always Easier to Destroy

Sorry I've been MIA, it's been VBS week, and apparently acronym week...

Vacation Bible School takes up a lot of my time and effort because of the decorations. It all looks amazing for the week, but here's my realization. It's an obvious one, but here it is.

It's always easier to destroy.

It took us two weeks and about fifteen people to set up all the decor. It took three people about six hours to get it all down and either toss or pack it away (if we had tossed it all it probably would have taken us half the time).

I think sometimes we like to destroy things because it is so easy. I'll be honest, remodeling is fun when you get to swing a sledge hammer and knock everything down. But really, we need builders. We need people who will do the hard work of building people up, of creating and making things sustainable.

Before you knock something down, make sure you have a plan, the time, the expense, everything you need to build what's next.
