I know that's why I never have a problem finding a scripture if I need one or if the Preacher says to look up one. I also loved teaching in VBS as I got into High School and older, and when my kids were little. It broke up the long summer months. That and the Library! :)<br /><br />I've always been Linda. Not a name you can change easily, I guess. :)ocmisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573017187040669068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-6305242819023204172011-07-21T18:10:42.032-04:002011-07-21T18:10:42.032-04:00I never went to vacation bible school.

When I started school my mother insisted that if anyone try to call me Ann I should correct them and tell them my name was Anna. I hated Anna. I went to school and introduced myself to everyone as Ann :)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-7600829476674632702011-07-21T03:22:36.716-04:002011-07-21T03:22:36.716-04:00I don't remember VBS - but I did do Pioneer Gi...I don't remember VBS - but I did do Pioneer Girls for awhile at church. Kinda a church version of Girl Scouts. It was fun - <br /><br />GS is very talented - I LOVED the rock family!<br /><br />When I was quite young and in elementary school (Stone Age), I thought "Sharon" was too formal a name. So I changed it (not legally!) to Shari. My goodness, everyone spelled it all sorts of wrong ways!<br /><br />Around age 25, I felt more like Sharon again. However, my husband, who's known me since 4th grade, is the only one who still calls me Shari - cuz that's what he's always known me as!<br /><br />Sharon to me reminds me of the Rose of Sharon - and I just love all the Bible connotations of that!<br /><br />xoSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-78236887205196743062011-07-20T23:09:55.295-04:002011-07-20T23:09:55.295-04:00My name: it is always messed up by others!

The VBS's are getting so much better these days with "themes" and all.

I was VERY involved with VBS for WAY TOO MANY years... If you ask me if I miss it, the answer is NO.. BUT-it is good for kids (and we got to tell unchurched kids about Jesus during VBS)... Praise God for that!!!<br /><br />My name is Elizabeth Bruce Banks... My folks started calling me Betsy and it stuck. Guess I didn't look like an Elizabeth... ha<br /><br />I was always upset about my middle name since --at that time--it was a boy's name. Now-it doesn't matter, and I love it since I love Family History, and Bruce is a family name...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-60726033181488466142011-07-20T20:21:42.449-04:002011-07-20T20:21:42.449-04:00I have wonderful memories of VBS.

I loved it!<br /><br />Yes, I went through times of spelling my name differently. Seems like we "girls" are the ones who do that.

I've been going through old photos lately and I came across a group picture of all the kids from VBS one year. They must have had a photographer come and take it. There were a ton of kids, but now the church is mostly elderly people. I know when I went I always begged my mother to let me go to the Catholic Church because their youth group always had fun. They got to dance, but we weren't allowed. :)Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068151073417372746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-37251648208939142242011-07-20T17:42:51.250-04:002011-07-20T17:42:51.250-04:00Yes, I do remember VBS!

I love the quote at the beginning of your page.<br /><br />My name? I would like to change it; I suppose because I am a different person than I was as a child. My sister changed her name to Liz from Lisa.
