What is a VBS? Are you teaching them coding at church?

No, I’m not teaching them coding; a VBS is an acronym for Vacation Bible School. It’s very popular in America and is basically a week during the summer where parents drop off their kids at a church and the kids are taught a short, weeklong Bible study based on an overarching theme with a prime example, such as a board game themed study called “Twists and Turns” that essentially compares a Christian’s walk with Jesus to a board game with its ups and lows, and its’ twists and turns.

Oh so it’s like church summer camp

 

[SpeakCuba]

Could yall pray for me; I’m helping run a VBS with 150 kids at my church, and I’m helping lead a small group with 30

It’ll be a lot, and I won’t have a ton of time to cube, so pray that I can be a positive image to these children

Surely! VBS is, in my opinion, one of the best times of the year. I find it fun to help out.

Dude I wanted to do "Twists and Turns" so badly because then you can put rubiks cube decor. My VBS did AIG's Jungle Journey which was still fun to help out at

Volunteering at VBS quite fun! Good luck with leading your group. Unfortunately I don’t think I can volunteer this year do to XC.

Great OH and 7x7 single today, mid everything else. Met @Discomantis during lunch, did some 2x2, hanging out with J, and got a 16 OH single today

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

I just realized that I PR’d in everything! My clock average got me into the Finals, my OH was very good considering I got a counting 26. My 7x7 single ended up being PB2, which was completely unexpected, Squan PR single and an 22.8 average, and mega was the only event that I am not happy with.

Honestly, this was probably the most tired I have ever been for a comp. I ended up taking a 3 hour nap right when I got home. It was nice meeting you!

no way you guys were talking about vbs without me (apologies for off-topicness). I've never survived one of those. since it was always during mid summer, here in california it gets real hot and I got taken out by heat stroke and vomiting on multiple occasions. another year i got mega carpet burned, and on my last year before i aged out, a water slide ate me. on the way down, i fell the through one of the plastics sheets that made up the slide of a 25 foot high slide. I got shredded by yards of velcro during the fall before hitting the ground. I discovered that you can't breathe inside a water slide, and blood and bruised, I was able to fight my way out through a flap in the side. that vbs was a Very Bad Sunday.

Bruh, what is that last story? That’s absolutely nuts!

Getting good at Cross edges and Centers can be the difference between a sub 50 solver and a sub 40 solver, and is highly understated when talking about is proving 4x4.

I’m sorry @Sombi McJunior, I can’t explain this in any other way other than “sorry”. At least you were faster than me for like, a few hours
