What was your Christian childhood like?

[theLeadmonger]

Everyone on the forum is really interested in other people's children...

Let's talk about what our own childhoods were like. What kind of religious chats for family fun and Bible based games did your parent's play with you when you were learning to talk? I used to have to play Bible Sword Drill back in primary school. Bible Sword Drill is a game of opening your Bible to the verse that the Elmer Gantry on stage calls out first. You wouldn't be able to play it online, not enough people are online at the same time, and since no one can see anyone else's desk, everyone would just cheat with their iPhone anyway.

From what I can remember:
Maternal grandmother made me, my two brothers, and two female cousins go on Sundays IF we were there for the weekend. We went to Bible school and I don't remember much of it. Eventually, we got older and sat with the adults. Don't remember much of that.
Like most kids without a strong upbringing we complained and she stopped making us go but if we wanted we could.
Years later, went to a revival at some church near where we used to live b/c friends of my parents brought it up and mine thought it would be good. I was one of those who got caught up in the hype and went down front with a lot of others to accept God. I don't think I truly did at that age. I wasn't reading the Bible nor going to church.
It was years before I came back as an adult. Many things in the Bible I felt with my "gut" were true and many things didn't sink in as "real" or "happened as written".
In high school I had a Catholic friend and even joined a group at school "Young Men and Women For Jesus" headed by our librarian an awesome overweight black woman who we could tell was very strong in faith.
I was one, long ago, who had my own version of Jesus.
I haven't that person for a long time and IMO and experience Satan is trying to get me back to being that person.
*NOT gonna happen.

I was on a church camping trip when I was 7 years old, and someone got murdered on it over the weekend. Don't know any Catholics at all, not personally, but my other's mother's brother, from Louisiana, married a McConnell.
