We just finished Vacation Bible School last week, and my kids retained nothing also. The only information shared with me was what they had for snack and what they did during game time. Even my fifteen-year-old, who helped out with the second graders, only had a vague idea of the scriptural principles that were shared (in her defence, she spent most of the time trying to keep them from eating their name tags. Apparently, this was a hungry bunch.) LOL. We just finished Vacation Bible School last week, and my kids retained nothing also.

What blissful, vague memories. Crafts. Skits. Prizes for memorizing verses that are now, woefully, gone. Lining up to go to the next activity. Lining up to go back. The snacks - I can't even remember them... ... they were that good! As always, please, please, please keep writing. Oh, VBS. What blissful, vague memories. Crafts. Skits.

We reread them as adults and were astounded at how we had twisted the stories, and this was just after hearing them! I think kids focus on things far differently that we do! BTW, I love your blog. I´ve been reading through it and it looks like I´ll have to pick up your RSS!
