Sorry, but I am in the middle of the first vacation I've had in a few years.
Red River, N.M.

ER's Occasional VBS 5 and final
Time for cookies and Kool-Aid!My main Vacation Bible School memory is this: It's where I really learned to delay self-gratification! LOL.
The grownups divvied up the cookies, making sure everybody got some of all kinds (yummy and yucky). I always made myself eat the yucky ones I got first, choking them down with hardly a sip of that precious, carefully rationed Kool-Aid, to save the best for last!
What does that mean?? :-)
I don't recall us ever having homemade cookies at VBS. Just cheap store-bought.
What's your favorite store-bought cookie? Currently, mine is the doublestuffed golden Oreos. Pecan sandies and fig newtons are my stand-by, though, oh, and soft molasses cookies.
Summer has been blah, so far, although it holds promise. Dr. ER and I are going to try to go to Red River, N.M., in a week or so to get out of this hellish heat for a few days.
But I've ordered books for next semester, and I will definitely be ready to get back in the seminary saddle come Sept. 1.

'Solemn roll call of the damned'
"Homosexuality in the Bible: One of the 'Clobber' passages" -- from www.religioustolerance.org.
1 Cor 6: 9-10.
I think idolaters, as in biblical literalists, and extortioners, as in bankers but especially credit card companies, and the covetous, as in most middle-class Americans, should be more worried than homosexuals in committed, monogamous relationships, which are not mentioned here or in any other place in the Bible.

ER's Occasional VBS 4
Arts and crafts time! As a kid in Vacation Bible School, I made something like this -- but not so colorful and pretty -- a pencil holder.
Out of an aluminum can, uncokked shell pasta, glue and some kind of paint. I think they actually let us young'uns use regular old spray paint. And we lived!
Crafts memories from VBS?
