Success!

Alright Kiddos!

Can you believe it actually happened?! We did it! I made it in to Lifeway one final time (as promised) (I mean, who thought I wasn’t going to make it in!) And I couldn’t be happier with the results! I wish I had some prizes I could give away to those of you who pretty much guessed it right on the nose!

Now that we know the theme, I’m that much more excited about VBS this summer!

The western theme is getting me really excited! I think the kids will get into it because there aren’t many television shows or movies that they can watch that involve this sort of theme! So, it’ll be a lot of fun to see how they react to this whole new world that they are rarely exposed to!

And I’m sure Lifeway will be unveiling some really cool props to go along with this great theme….

So, What do you think of the NEW 2010 Lifeway VBS THEME??

Odd Conversation

Alright Kiddos!

I hope everyone is doing well! I’ve been busy working on my next disguise!

Let’s just say that there won’t be a problem getting inside good ole Lifeway with this one! I mean, who would turn away the REAL Jeff Slaughter?

However, I think it’s important for you to know that I heard someone having a really odd conversation while I was on the inside this past week…

Here’s a snippet: (I think their names were Tom and Reese)

Tom- That’s hogwash.
Reese- They have the brain just about the size of a walnut. They’re mean, they’re treacherous and they’re stupid.
Tom- You’re getting old, Doc.
Reese- No, it ain’t that. No sensible man loves them.

Reese also said something about how he was “gonna get his ears” and “his ears are outside”?

Not sure what he was saying.

Weird. Hope that helps….

So Close!

Hello there kiddos! How are you liking the videos?!

I read this comment from Karen in the post section:

Aagh! This is driving me crazy!

Me too! AAGHH! Creating these videos for you guys has been a blast for me so far! But none of this has come with the reward we’ve been looking for…yet!

As you can tell from the last video, they have the theme for next summer under lock and key. Dr. Lifeway (Dr. Rainer) knew what it was but he wouldn’t tell me! Why is that? I mean no harm! I’m just looking for information!

We know that the theme has the letters SRR in it. Some of you had some really great ideas: Railroad? Western? Safari?

When will we know!? Who knows?!

But, trust me. We’re getting close!!

More videos to come…

Video Numero Dos!

Thanks for the great ideas for disguises!

I looked around for a health inspector outfit but I couldn’t find one. The closest thing I could come by was a hot dog outfit. So I used that instead. And it actually worked! Well, for a little while…

Anyway, I got in again and I saw some really interesting things! I think we’re getting close! What does that acronym mean?!? Any thoughts?

Enjoy the second video!

Onward!

As you guys can see, I’m getting really close to figuring out the theme for next summer! I see everyone has their own guess as to what it may be and I wish I could tell you if you were right or wrong…

But unfortunately I haven’t figured it out yet! Ahh! I wish I had! I got kicked out last time (as you can see). So I’m trying to come up with another disguise that will allow me to get by the security guards one more time. Hopefully this time I’ll figure it out!

I’m thinking I should do a singing telegram… any thoughts?

Video Time!

Alright! It’s been done! I snuck into Lifeway headquarters in Nashville, TN! Don’t try this at home kids! Well, you wouldn’t be able to try this at home anyway because it requires you driving to the Lifeway headquarters.

Anyway, here’s my first video post which gives you the chance to join in on my adventures inside Lifeway. I think we’re getting a lot closer! There are some clues contained in the video that may help us figure out what the theme is! So let’s all keep our eyes peeled and see what we can come up with!

Hope you are all doing well!

More videos to come!

GOOD NEWS!

Okay, kids! I’ve got some really exciting news! I’ve figured out my way into Lifeway. But it’s going to take a little creativity on my part.

In the next few days I’ll be sneaking inside their headquarters wearing all sorts of different disguises. Once I’m inside, I’ll hopefully be able to figure out what the theme is for next summer. But this isn’t going to be easy!

For those of you who don’t know me, don’t worry, I’m not going to be doing anything “illegal”.

I’m planning on bringing my video camera so that I can document the whole adventure and I’m pretty sure that I’ll be able to reveal the theme for 2010 pretty soon!

And now…for one of my favorite songs of all time!

Discouragement!

Well, I thought this was going to be a lot easier.

I went by Lifeway today to see if I could sneak in, maybe get a peek of what they have going on for VBS 2010. But, it turns out they guard the place like it’s the White House. I needed an “invitation” and I didn’t exactly “have one”.

So I’ve got to come up with a plan for how I’ll get beyond all the barriers they have set up. Does anyone have the blueprints for the Lifeway building? If so, that would be EXTREMELY helpful.

But even if you don’t have the blueprints, don’t worry…I’ll do whatever I have to do to get inside. And once I’m inside, I’ll do whatever I have to do to discover the theme for next summer!

Here We Go!

Hey there kids! (I realize that all of you may not be kids but I think it’s a lot of fun to address everyone as kids because it keeps us all young!)

First things first: If you work for Lifeway, this blog isn’t real. You’re not even reading this. This is all a product of your imagination. I’m not really trying to find out what the theme is for VBS 2010. So don’t worry! Simply click this link and forget you ever came here…

Okay…I think all the “suits” are gone. If you’re still reading this I’m going to assume that you are playing some role in VBS at your local church. And that gets me excited! I’m glad you’re here!

My name is Donny and I have been teaching Vacation Bible School since the Good News Stampede. I love it! I think Lifeway has been doing a terrific job with creating new and exciting themes for the kids each summer…

BUT…

I’m getting too anxious for next year’s theme! How about you?

This blog is dedicated to uncovering the 2010 VBS theme! I promise by the end of this month that I will find out what it is and let all of you know!

For fun, what’s your guess for next year’s theme??
