Jon is teaching VBS tomorrow/today (I forgot to write something for Friday and it’s still Friday in Alaska and Hawaii so cut me some slack!) so I decided to share the things I’ve learned from teaching and helping with VBS in the last few years.
-Froot Loops stick to your ears if you lick them.
-Never ask kids if they have questions. It never ends well.
-The batteries in your digital camera will die the second you need to take a series of pictures for the end of day Powerpoint display.
-Singing silly songs is a lovely way to deal with your grief after sitting with a family whose member has just died.
-You can recall a huge amount of Scripture if it has been part of a silly song.
-There is nothing like chicken-dancing after having a tough day at work.
I completely agree about learning scripture from silly songs. I can still remember tons of it from songs I learned in children’s church 40 years ago.
And chicken dancing is always fun.
