Bible Bee Live Quizzes

Can't wait for tomorrow! See you there! Also, thank you Andy and Alex for taking the time and energy to do this! You're helping so much!

Thank you Alex and Andy!!!! This is going to be a lot of fun!!!

BTW: I like where the scoreboard is now!!

@Alex: I'm not sure I get one thing. You put a list of "Week 7" "Week 8" and so on. Are we to click the "Week 7" for this week's quiz and "Week 8" for next week's quiz? Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks, Alex, for answering my question!

@SBG: Congratulations on reaching 100 memorized verses. Yesterday, you were 1 ahead of me on the leaderboard...now you are like 15 ahead! Good job!

Thanks Alex! "See" you tomorrow! :)

Awesome! I can't wait for the quizzes! I missed the last one so I can't wait to try out the new system!

I didn't know if you needed to sign up, but either way i will try to be here tomorrow (7/21).
Also - is the scoring automatic?

I have started a Facebook event called "Live high tech Bible Bee Quiz Fridays at 4:00pm EDT" at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=140680996014270. If any of you are on Facebook, you can invite your Bible Bee friends and other Scripture enthusiasts among your friends to attend.

Mr. Walker - I would, except I don't have facebook :)

Bethany - That is correct, you use the appropriate link depending on the week.

Super401 - Scoring is automatic! :) We are always glad to hear when people plan to attend, though it is not required at all, especially with the new system.

Phil - Thanks for doing that. At this point in my life, I do not use Facebook, but I know it is a great way to spread the word about things like this, so I really do appreciate you helping by creating that.

I'm guessing most don't have Facebook, which is a good thing. I am not in any way promoting Facebook. I am just putting it out there as a tool I use that others can also use to spread the word about these awesome quizzes. I will be using other methods as well. Alex, is there any limit that can crash the system, or make the quizzes difficult to administer?

Mr. Walker - Even if people do have it, they can use it to promote things like Memverse...like you are doing. You never know, maybe we'll have more poeple join because of what you posted about on Facebook!

Can't wait for tomorrow! I would spread the word on Facebook, but I don't do FB :) I like where the scoreboard is now :) hopeful it will work for me know ;)

@Andy, Mr. Walker, Alex:

To move up from level 5 you have to refer a new user. So, I referred my oldest brother. He joined and everything (a new user....Yay!) and put me as his referrer, but I still didn't move up from that level? BTW, that was the last thing that I had to do before I could move up. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Phil - I've emailed you about the system capacity and am hoping we'll be fine. :)

Bethany - Is he showing up under your "Referrals" page (beneath Account tab)? If he is, then I would just try one more thing: go back to your Account Dashboard and see if it took you up a level. Sometimes it just needs to be reloaded... If that doesn't help, then I would double-check that you got all the quests done. Let us know how it goes.

Alex - It shows up now! Thank you so much for your help! Now, I can continue to move up levels!

Awesome! I will be there Lord willing! Can't wait!

Mr. Walker, thanks so much for the FB tool. I don't have a FB, but my Mom does, and she has lots of BB friends. Im sure she could get the word out! :)

Thanks guys for doing these quizzes!!

I don't know if I can make it. We have to go to a wedding tonight and so my dad said I HAVE to take a nap...:-( yuck, I hate naps! Oh well, I'll try to make it the next times...:)

BBJ11 you are so funny :)

My parents are going to a wedding today!

I will be doing it. :) My version is KJV

BBJ11, I hate naps too. Are you and Rachel both going to the same wedding?

I saw a chat message from Christian Alexander saying that he was having trouble with the quizzes. Christian, which browser are you using? If you are not using Firefox, I would recommend downloading it and giving that a try.

Also saw a message from Ashley that she couldn't see chats. I would wait for about 15 seconds, then if nothing happens, try refreshing your page.

I'm using Firefox, and I can neither see chats nor quiz questions.

Is it the latest version of Firefox? You might also try Google Chrome. Sorry you're having trouble.

alright, I'll give it a go. I just got this version last week.

Christian - I would probably try Chrome then.

Well, my computer's having problems downloading Google Chrome, so I may just have to give up.

Okay, now Chrome is downloading. Hopefully I can make it to the quiz before it's finished.

My computer seems to be downloading fine.

It's a longer quiz with more recitations, so there is a greater chance you can join. Let me know of any more issues. Thanks.

I accidentally got cut off in the middle of the quiz, I couldn't "chat" there after a while, some of the verses didn't even come from Week 7, to my knowledge, and Google Chrome isn't working very well for me. Yikes...

It definitely needs some work, but it's great that you're trying to figure this out, Alex and Andy! Also, I was trying to thank Rachel Crosswhite for her prayer in the middle of the quiz. So, thank you, Rachel!

I use Internet Explorer. I did question #1, and waited for it to go to #2. But it froze. So I refreshed, (sorry, I know I wasn't supposed to) and the page came up the same way it looks when a quiz hasn't started yet. My chat didn't work for a while either. The scoreboard didn't work at all.

I don't know if i can get permission to download FF or GC either.

We are having another quiz at 5 PM EDT. If you had problems and were using Internet Explorer, I suggest downloading Mozilla Firefox for your web browser by clicking on this link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/. Then click, "Get Firefox".

Thank you, Alex, for another chance, like last week! I hope everyone's computers work this time!

Thank you, Alex, for all your dedication to making this work. These quizzes are so helpful. I had a few issues: I wasn't able to chat; I would type it in and press send but it never showed up, even after I tried several times. I came in late but that was my own fault, and it seemed to handle that fine; it just let me jump right in. And also, I didn't have to sign in when the quiz started, like I did last time, so that was an improvement. Thanks! :)

Alex, thanks for these quizzes. May God richly bless you.

Ok. On IE I had the first question, then it messed up and I couldn't see questions or scores. Safari didn't work either. But, I downloaded and installed Firefox. So, we'll see what happens! Thank you SO much for all your work on this, Alex!

When I refreshed it didn't help.

We had to call off the 5 PM EDT quiz due to what appeared to be hacking. I don't expect it to happen again. Thanks for understanding and look forward to seeing you all next Friday at 4 PM EDT. We'll also be looking into the issue that some of you had with answering the questions, even during the earlier quiz today. Thanks!

I missed the quiz because our electricity unexpectedly went off :(

Dear EVERYONE who did the quiz at 3 this afternoon,

I was the fake hacker. I did it by changing my name in profile to your names. I did it as a joke and did not mean harm. So now I realize that it is wrong and can cause big problems. I am so sorry for pretending to be a hacker, I won't do it again. Please forgive me. I was very mean to do that.

Love, Johnny

@Brooke Nicole: same 4 me.

I'm so sorry that I missed it! I took a nap (I'm not feeling the best) and then completely forgot about it. I'm very sorry. I'll try next week to come :)

Hi Everyone!

I'm so sorry that I missed the quiz. I completely forgot about it. I'll try to be there next week (I'll set a reminder somewhere so I'll see it every day).

Great job on the quiz everyone!! "See" you all next week at the quiz (I can't wait)!

Carissa

Great job everyone! I had one question for you Alex - did you do more than 15 question? I see that some poeple got a higher score than 180. Just wondering :)

Bethany - Yes, we had 18 questions.

YAY! I'm on Google Chrome! Thank you Dad for downloading it :)

@Alex - how did the 5 o clock quiz go? I was gonna do it but when there was the hacker problem my mom said I should probably get off so I wouldn't have a hacker in my account. Sorry!!

This is strange...I just saw a few new blog posts but now they are gone :S

this morning I saw them and now they are gone :S

Same With vburk,
I had the same problems.

Alex I just want you to know I didn't mind that the chat wasn't working, somtimes God has some trials that we can't help.
I wasn't at the 5 oclock one becuase we Had to go to the finishing night of our VBS, so I don't know how it turned out.

Please pray for me it's not a big thing but I have our Chapionship Swim This morning though evning and I don't think I'm good enough or ready, Thank you!!!

Hi Ashely :)
I think the 5 o'clock quiz was called off ;)

Ohhhhhh,
Thanks!

How long dose it take to mimorize a verse?

Are you able to make a verse a"mimorized verse" because I have mimorized verses that are on here but there not in the called "mimorized".

Thanks

Ashley - I have asked those same questions and the answer to the first one is - a verse is classified as memorized when the interval for reviewing it has grown to over a month. and the answer to your second question is - No, you cannot make a verse memorized ... you have to "wait for memverse to classify it as memorized :)
Hope this helps

Alex or Andy or whoever :)
I added a chapter to my memorize list...will it stay pending until I change it to Learning?
Thanks!

BibleBeeJunior11 - Is it just me or do you look like Georgie Henley (the girl who plays Lucy in The Chronicles Of Narnia)?

*snickers* @BrookeNicole--that IS Georgie Henley from the Chronicles of Narnia movies! :) She has said before that she is a big fan of... well, either the movies or the actor, I can't remember which. So none of us know what she REALLY looks like.. yet. :)

Rachel - It will stay pending until you convert the verses to learning.

Ashley - Like Rachel said, the interval must be over a month for it to be "memorized", which of course means it will take about a month for the ones you already know to be marked "Memorized". I remember it seemed like a long time for me at first, but I see the benefit to it now.

Thanks to everyone who explained the problems they were having.

I thought you all would like to know that we are working through the bug with the scoreboard and such that vburk, Ashley, and others have reported. We just tried doing a bit more testing with Internet Explorer and realized that one of the code functions we were using for the scoreboard is not supported by IE. Other browsers may not support this function either. It is called to update the scoreboard, which happens right after the first question. Some browsers, though, like Firefox, worked fine... I suspect that when this error was hit, other things stopped working as well for some of you, including chat. Things are starting to make sense. I am optimistic that the problem will be gone for next week's quiz. Thanks for giving details.

SavedByGrace - Ohhhhhh! Haha, thanks for explaining! I was thinking, "It's amazing how much she looks like Georgie Henley" LOL

:)

Congratulation, Alex, for memorizing your 700th verse! Good job...keep up the good work!

@BrookeNicole - nope, it's not me but I wish it was! Well at least I wish I looked like her...sometimes...but I like how God made me!!! :) yup, I loooove Georgie Henley so she's always my profile picture. I just changed the picture yesterday! But of course, it was changed from GH TO GH!! i found a perfect website with awesome icons...dedicated to Narnia..
@SBG - yeah, I love both the movies and the actors...:) I'm a die-hard fan. :)
@Rachel Crosswhite - love your picture! Was the 5:00 called off?

BibleBeeJunior11 - yes I think it was...thanks for liking my picture! It was taken in New Zealand

Yep, the 5:00 one was called off.

@Rachel Crosswhite - your picture is very nice :) Should I change my picture from a butterfly to myself? What do you think....[smile]

@Rachel Crosswhite - Whoa, do you live in NZ?
@Bethany - I love the butterfly, maybe you should add your photo to the butterfly...do you have something where you can like put the pictures together? that would be cool!

I would love to put a photo of me on my profile, but I'm just not secure about posting it on the web, ya know? :) And, since Georgie's plastered everywhere there are Narnia Fans, I decided to do her. She's 1 of my fav actors (actresses) lol :)

Oh yeah! Before I forget, Alex or Andy, I had trouble whenever I would try to comment while the verses were being recited and the reference recalls. I would type something to post and hit enter and it wouldn't post. :( can you figure that out for me? my version of Firefox is 5.0 if that helps

BBJ11 - I don't think it would work to have my picture and the butterfly all in one picture...it might be kind of small :) I might just put my picture. One day, you should put yours so that we can know what you look like =)

BBJ11 - NO I do not live in New Zealand....but might someday! I visited NZ in March and it was a BLAST!!!!! If you ever go anywhere out of the country I am telling you GO TO NEW ZEALAND. Period.
Bethany - I love your butterfly picture but would love to see what you look like ;)

BTW to everyone who's accounts seemed like they were getting hacked....
I had a dream last night that it was the next Bible Bee Quiz (on the 29th) and we were all chatting...and then I saw something under MY NAME that I did not type......."Are you ready?" and then Sarah's Bible Bee account said "Yes!" Then all of our computers froze, then the whole Memverse website changed to an eerie gray color and then pops up some top news stories.....the website was called "Memverse? No way! NEWS!!!" (the chat section was still there) then someone ( i forget who it was) messaged "we did it!!!" and then all of our accounts were deleted and then all of our computers blew up! Memverse became a new website that if you visited it it would blow your computer up!!!!!
All in a night's sleep. Great. Hope it doesn't really happen ;)
have a wonderful Sunday

@Rachel Crosswhite (KJV) - HAHAHA!!!!!!! that is sooooooooo funny!!! :) Yeah, I hope that doesn't happen here either!!!!!!!!! :) that would be so scary.........mine didn't seem to be hacked. but i don't know!
@Bethany - maybe one day. :) I'll ask my mom. ;)

Rachel Crosswhite- That would not be good. I like my computer. And i like memverse. It is a one-of-a-kind-website. That might be a little funny though... LOL... If it didnt happen. I wonder what alex will say to your dream.

I couldn't stop laughing for a full minute when I saw your dream, Rachel Crosswhite! That was absolutely hilarious! Of course, it wouldn't be funny if it actually happened, but it can't happen like that. What made me laugh the most was the name of the new website. I wish I had dreams like that (and could remember them). :)

BBJ11, Smiles, and SavedByGrace - LOL :D

Haha, Rachel!! :)

Wow Rachel! Quite a dream :)

Sorry, this has nothing to do with anything, but when I tried to add John 13:3-14 to my list of memory verses, but it seemed like it wasn't there. The reason is that I typed in MATTHEW 13:3-14. So now there is a Matthew 13:3 verse in NIV that is actually John 13:3. It is still etitable, but when I tried to erase what I had written, the screen just said "We're sorry, but something has gone wrong." I'm sure somebody is able to fix the verse, right?

SavedByGrace - I believe the reason you got the error is because you tried clicking "Edit" without anything in the textarea. The best thing to do would be to Edit it again and make the text of "Matthew 13:3" the right NIV text (instead of nothing). Basically, there is now a verse for this in the database, and you can't delete it out of the database. So please fix it by putting in the correct text, and then go ahead and delete the verse from your account. That way, it will correctly be in the database for any NIV user who wants to learn it at some point, but it will no longer be assigned to your account. Thanks! :)

Thanks, Alex. I guess I didn't think of that. :)

Deleted

Simeon - it's pretty simple :) all you do is go to your verses page hen click on the verse you want to tag. then you can make a new tag or use one someone else has created ;) hope this helps :)

BTW about my dream... I forgot to say that after the screen turned eerie gray, then little bees were flying around on the site :P

Alex - I have gotten on Memverse blog recently and seen ALOT of blog posts...then I go to a different part of Memverse and i come back to blog and they are all gone. Do you think someone is hacking the blog?! This is sooooo strange :P

Rachel Crosswhite - I don't think so. Sometimes if a moderator thinks a comment is best left unsaid, they will delete it, and I appreciate their wisdom in doing so. :)

what week will the next quiz cover?

@Marie Morris - this is week 8, then next week will be 9, and so on and so forth . :) lol

oh and alex or whoever, i wanna b here 4 wk 8 but i might b swimming so i dont know if i can come maybe we can get home in time i hope so!

Alex - I'm not talking about comments....I'm talking about actual blog posts :) But yes I appreciate the wisdom in deleting inappropriate comments :)

@Rachel Crosswhite--that seems to happen to me too, but I think I have it figured out. Sometimes, for some reason, when you click on the Blog tab, it brings you to old blog posts, and it seems like new posts. When you go back again, it only shows the new blog posts (like the one we're commenting on now) and it seems like the other ones have been erased, but they are merely farther back in the blog history. But if you find something wrong with this advice, don't be surprised--I have a record of doing that and having Alex, Andy, or someone else having to correct me. :)

I cannot wait in till the next quiz, I want to see how it turns out.

BibleBeeJunior,
Who is your picture of? it looks like Lucy on "Narnia",. is it? How old are you?
P.s I copyed your name idea....:P

SBG - I was wondering if that was the case :)

Hey BibleBeeJunior11 ,
Can you post you picture for just a day or so and then change it so I can see it?
I am dieing to see your picture!!!:)

Dose anyone reconize the last name McMahan?

I want to Change me Profile picture but I'm not alowed on the site so I can't change it. Is there any way to change it without going on that website?

If not I understand:)

@AshleyBibleBeeJr11(NASB)--Yes, that is a picture of Lucy (Georgie Henley) from the Chronicles of Narnia, yes, I would also like to see BBJ11's real picture and would like to show my own also, and McMahan is the last name of the person who wrote the Sword Study. The commenters with the last name McMahan are her children. :)
EDITED--I have the same problem with the Gravatar account thing.

Well,
I'm Ashley McMahan!
My Dad is The CEO Of the Bible Bee!

WOAH! That was kind of unexpected... :)

LOL,
A bad kind of unexpected?

And mom my wote the sowrd study as you probly know.

No, not a bad kind of unexpected. I'm just surprised because, since you were asking the question, I thought you recognized the commenters with the last name McMahan from the name in front of the Sword Study and didn't know that they were related. It was a complete surprise that YOU were actually one of them! :)
P.S.--can't wait for the next BB quiz on Friday! I plan to be there! (But of course, what does planning matter? I don't know if I'll even be living by then or if Christ will come back in that time! :) )

Wow Ashley ! Tell your Mom that I LOVE the Sword Study.....I am enjoying it so much! Did your Mom write last year's study?

@AshleyBibleBeeJr11. :) That's fine! :) Yes, it's Georgie Henley. I found it at www.spareoom.net/graphics. Ok, I will post it sometime maybe. I said MAYBE!!!! :)

Does anyone want to join me in memorizing 1 Peter after the Bible Bee? I am planning to do that

@Rachel Crosswhite - I will! I'm planning on doing it also! How is your memory work going? I will be done in about two weeks with all of mine...so I'm planning on working on 1 Peter then :)

Definitely, Rachel Crosswhite! I was thinking of doing that myself! That could be my first memorized book of the Bible--out of 66, of course... :)

SBG - It's a good place to start, also! I like the book of 1 Peter...and it's been very interesting to study in-depth. How about you? Are you enjoying the Sword Study?

Bethany - That's great! My memory work is going well, week 7 wasn't very good for me, but week 8 is going very well...I had 3 cards already memorized out of week 8 so I have only 3 other cards to do {happy dance} :) I am about 10 verses behind though :( Praise the Lord you are so far along! That's great you want to join me :)
SavedByGrace - wonderful!! yes,it will be my first book memorized as well ;) We could call it our First Peter project! Maybe we could.....I forgot what I was going to say :(

anyone else care to join?

So far the count on the First Peter project is going well!
-Rachel Crosswhite
-Bethany
-SavedByGrace

Let's see how many more we can get on this Wonderful Project. ;) LOL and PTL ;)

Alex - do you think someone can do the last week's quiz over again? I have Google Chrome and would like to see if it works now :)

That would be neat to have more people joining us in memorizing 1 Peter! We have three so far...maybe more people will join before to long. Three is a good start though!

I agree Bethany ;)

On Memverse, in all, we have memorized over 72,000! We're trying to reach 100,000 by the end of the year!

Hey, I memorized 2 new verses the other day ! That raised the number !! ;) I have several verses I will probably have memorized on Memverse in a few days ;) {HAPPY dance}

@ Bethany (Bible Bee)
cool I hope I can help alot towards that!

Simeon - "PTL" stands for "Praise the Lord" :)

BTW Bethany and SBG, you know in the Bible Bee we are memorizing alot of verses out of 1 Peter so that will help :)

@ Rachel Crosswhite (KJV) "ooh" said the big mouth frog(jk).
ok thanks

@SavedByGrace there needs to be a colum on the dashboard for books memorized! read Titus its a really good book to memorize.

@Rachel Crosswhite--I kind of snickered when you asked if I was a girl, and I'm still not sure if you were serious. No, I'm actually a boy. It might be a little confusing since I didn't really specify my gender in my name. Wow...nobody's ever thought I was a girl before. ;), LOL, jk, and whatever else I need to say to let you know that I'm not offended.

@Rachel - I believe that SBG is a boy; Christian Alexander's brother, right, SBG?

oh SBG....I'm blushing :) please don't be offended :) I thought MAYBE you were a girl because of the Grace in your username, My mistake :) also, I can't tell if you picture is a boy or a girl, so sorry! I thought you were a girl all along :P SO SORRY SBG! What is you real name? again....SORRY! {i'm so embarssed, but how was I to know?!}

and I was serious :P

Hey BibleBeeJunior11 ,
I just finished Narnia The book!

Rachel,
Yes, my mom wrote last years too, sorry I didn't awser right away I went swimming all day with a friend.

@Rachel Crosswhite--I am definitely not offended. It's totally all right. Anyway, my name is Nicolas Alexander, the brother of Christian Alexander. Also, I used to think God's Little Child was a girl, until he said that his name was Nathan B. Please don't be embarrassed.

SBG - I have a question for you. Is Alexander your last name? Or do your brother and you have the same middle name? Just wondering :)

Don't worry too much about it, Rachel... There were two members on this site that I thought were female also before I learned they were male...

Same here, I thought one was a girl...but actually, they were a boy. Actually, I wasn't brave enough to ask, I just waited until someone else did to find out :)

Rachel, you can count me in for memorizing 1 PETER with you guys. Do you have any time frame of when everyone wants to finish. Around the end of November each year, I lead a world wide group memorizing a short book of the Bible (or a group of around 100 verses) at the pace of 1 verse per day to give some Scripture memory in the Bible Bee off season. Last year we did 1 JOHN and the year before that 1 TIMOTHY. This upcoming year the leading vote getters are JAMES and 2 TIMOTHY.

Bethany, I tend to be a little optimistic, but I predict that memverse hits 100,000 by September 15th and hits 150,000 by the end of 2011.

All you Bible Bee guys are doing a great job spreading the excitement about memverse. But don't forget to do your best preparing and mastering your own Bible Bee verses and studying the 1 PETER sword study.

@ SavedByGrace I tried lots of symbol (☻♥⌡-♣◘♣○•♫) but couldnt find any hebrew can you tell me how to get it

BTW did you go to nationals and whats your local group

BTW - did you go to nationals and wheres your local group

Mr. Walker - that would be WONDERFUL if Memverse got 150,000 verses memorized by the beginning of 2012! I'm striving towards that end!

You asked about a time frame that we wanted to finish by. Are you asking about memorizing 1 Peter? or our Bible Bee verses? I'd LIKE to know 1 Peter by locals...but I don't know if that will happen. Also, I'm planning on finishing all my verses in about 2 weeks...I'm quite excited :)

I will be memorizing 1 Peter as well - in fact, having just finished my Bible Bee verses I am getting started on it right now.

People memorizing 1 Peter:

-Rachel
-SavedByGrace
-Mr. Walker
-Matthew
-Bethany

Anyone else want to join?!

I want to start doing these quizzes... have not been doing them because I was not following the schedule in the Sword Study... but now since I am done with all the verses I will probably be there on Friday. It is 4 PM Central Time, right?

Matthew - what group are you in...Senior, Junior or Primary?

My goal is to finish all of my Bible Bee verses before I go on vacation on August 8th across the country, and to memorize 1 Peter between then and locals while I'm on vacation... So you can put me on your list, Rachel

Good Josiah! So it looks like we are pretty much in the same place with the Bible Bee. Also, how many years have you done the Bible Bee? Have you ever made it to Nationals?

New List of 1 Peter memorizers:

-Rachel
-SavedByGrace
-Mr. Walker
-Matthew
-Josiah
-Bethany

Anyone else?!

I am working on 1 Peter

I have participated in the Bible Bee for the past two years and both years I made it to nationals.
This is my third and last year since I just graduated from homeschool.

@ Bethany (Bible Bee)
I dont know if I want to ar not...you guys are all making me feel bad I have two weeks memorised
not 10.'tears'

I'd like to join with you in memorizing 1 Peter. Completed the first chapter. As I have already added Titus and 2Timothy to my verses a week back, may I know by when you plan to complete memorizing 1Peter? I am from India. Like to join for one of the quizzes.

Simeon - don't feel badly. Just keep working diligently towards the end and you will make it! Although it might seem hard at times...don't give up. Just keep memorizing and studying and trusting in the Lord!

Eunice Sophie - that would be great if you joined us! Wow! You already have the first chapter done...good job! I'll add you to the list:

-Rachel
-Bethany
-SavedByGrace
-Mr. Walker
-Matthew
-Josiah
-Eunice Sopia

Rachel - our number of people is going up of people going to memorize 1 Peter with us! Anyone else?!

Ok, this is BBJ11 here, I'm using my sister's page. I think I will join the 1 Peter challenge. :) Count me in!

Bethany: I've done the Bible Bee since it began, so this is my third year. I've made it to Nationals each time. The first year it had nothing to do with scripture memory (I probably memorized around 5% of the verses, and everything to do with bible knowledge (the written test was weighted pretty heavily the first year). Last year I actually did all of the verses, so... What about you?

Josiah - that's neat that you made it to Nationals all three times! This is my first year to do the Bible Bee...and I'm quite excited about it! At first, it seemed like WAY more than I could learn. But now doing it, it seems not that hard. This is the first time that I had actually done this much Bible memory. Before, I would memorize about 3 to 4 verses a week....now I'm doing three times that amount each day!

May I ask how old you are?

Ugh! I'm going to miss this quiz too! I'm going to be gone all evening.

@Simeon--sorry it took me so long to get back to you. All you have to do to get those other symbols is type numbers in the hundreds, not just the tens. Also, I have never been to the Nationals. This is the first year that I am really trying hard to study. (And don't give up with memorizing verses just because you are behind!)
@Bethany--no, Alexander is our last name. I don't completely see how that would lessen our Internet safety though... Also, I think that Rachel Crosswhite wanted us to memorize 1 Peter AFTER the Bible Bee. Trying to do it before the locals would be a little--well, actually a lot--difficult. :) Oh, and I think that Matthew Minica is a Junior.

It's great that so many people are attempting Rachel Crosswhite's challenge. But just for anyone who wants to... is anyone who hasn't volunteered already willing to memorize the Bible with me? I've lowered my goal of 100 people to just twenty, and we have fourteen already, so... anyone willing to take up the challenge?
@Josiah DeGraaf and Marie Morris--wow! You've made it to Nationals twice too? Oh, I wish I had done that. But I'm really trying harder to memorize this year. And I'm also working hard on my Sword Study, so I'll probably do well on the written test too. Wouldn't it be cool if some of the Memverse members met each other at the Nationals? That would be so awesome...

Oh my, what a long comment. Sorry! I wonder if anyone actually took the time to read it...

SBG - Yes, I read the whole thing, just in case you were wondering :)

I thought that Alexander was your last name...because it would have been interesting if you and your older brother shared the same middle name :) People can memorize 1 Peter after the locals if they want. It doesn't really matter to me...I am planning on doing it before though. Also, do you have any other siblings doing the Bible Bee...except your older brother? I might have asked before, but I don't remember

Yes, that would be very neat if we got to meet people from Memverse at Nationals. We just have to continue studying and working hard at it!

@Bethany--Other than me and my older brother, I have an eleven-year-old sister doing the Junior Timothy Track, and two younger brothers, nine and six, who are in the Primary Timothy Track.
I guess I could try to memorize some of 1 Peter before the local Bible Bee as well--I took the time to memorize Romans 1, so I might be able to do that. :)

@SBG - Are you and your older brother doing National track, though? Maybe I was mistaken...

Yes, we are both doing National Track. I'm the youngest one in our family doing National Track.

@SBG - Neat!

@BibleBeeJunior11 - How did you get your comment there?! I'm sure that we did our's before you did your's. Besides, on recent comments....your's comes up first! May I know how?

Our list of people memorizing 1 Peter:

-Rachel Crosswhite
-Bethany
-SavedByGrace
-Mr. Walker
-Matthew
-Josiah
-Eunice Sopia
-BibleBeeJunior11
=8 people

Anyone else?!

I'd like to memorize 1 Peter with you all, also... I already memorized the first three chapters and chapter 5, so it shouldn't be too hard to finish memorizing chapter 4! The first three chapters I am working on knowing each verse by the reference, and I've already done that with chapter 5.

Bethany, I am a Junior.

Mathew,
I was hoping that you wern't a junior but you are.

@Matthew Minica - THAT IS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!! :) LOL I so wish I was done but I only have like 50 cards left. :) YAY!!!!!
@Josiah DeGraaf - me too! :)

This is so wonderful! This is great! :)
~Mr Walker - There are approx. 105 verses in 1 Peter ....I think for time frame....probably about (for me) 2 months or 3 months? I don't know. You all can go faster if you like....I was thinking like a verse to three verses a day....please tell me what you think. I'd like to keep memorizing the Bible Bee verses...finish them all (i'm TT and would like to do the NT verses after the Locals) I think it would be great to keep memorizing (it IS great) so we will still be in the habit of doing it so it won't be so hard to pick up again next year in the BB
~SBG - It's totally alright....go grateful you aren't offended :) Our 1 PETER PROJECT number is growing!
~Bethany (i always start to type your name with an A after the E) This is so wonderful! Praise the Lord! Thanks for keeping the names for the 1 PETER PROJECT updated :)
~BBJ11 - Praise the LORD that you only have 50 cards left! I have about 35+ card left (but then I'm doing TT)
~Alex - is it okay if I create a topic on the Feedback section for the 1 PETER PROJECT? Thank you :)

Here is the current list of names for the 1 PETER PROJECT
-Rachel Crosswhite (Me)
-SavedByGrace
-Bethany
-Mr Walker
-Matthew Minica
-Josiah DeGraaf
-Marie Morris
-Eunice Sopia
-BibleBeeJunior11
-Ranch4Christ
= 10 people

What a blessing! I am so blessed that all of you would like to join me in this challenge :) May the Lord bless you all as you hide his word in your heart.

BTW I am thinking of changing my name (om Memverse) to "Rachel4Him" - then you don't have to call me Rachel Crosswhite all the time (it's so long to type out) what do you think?

have a great day! (can't wait for the next quiz! hopefully it will work for me)

yikes sorry for such a long comment !!! I just had alot I needed to say :)

BTW Carissa - no baby yet...yesterday was the due date .... still waiting and praying ;)

Yay! We have ten people! That's wonderful...Thanks for updating the list, Rachel.

Anyone else want to join?!

your welcome Bethany :) I think we will get many more
Mr Walker -I love it that you have scripture challenges throughout the year...I was thinking...what about one verse a day instead of 3? :)

@Rachel Crosswhite/Rachel4Him--It might be a good idea to change your name. I don't mind either way, though. Do you already use that name on GetSatisfaction? Because I thought I had seen that name there before.

SBG - Yes I do use that name on GetSatisfaction. I might, still thinking about it ;)

Rachel - it doesn't really matter to me :)

I might change it, I mean ;)

Bethany - all right :)

Bethany: You have the physical ability to ask that question... Now whether I will answer it... ;) I'm 15.

Josiah - you're funny! I was meaning, if you minded me asking =) I'm 15 also

Would you know how to edit a verse, if it is alread verified? Thanks!

how old are you all? I'm 14

Bethany - when is your birthday? JW

March 12th....and your's?

There was a green house. And inside the green house was a white house, inside the white house was a red house, and inside the red house was a bunch of little black babies. What am I? LOL (I just found this)

Mine is July 25 ....I was wondering when your bday was cause I have a friend and she is looking for a twin ;)

No, the quiz is not going to be at 4 PM Central Time, it will either be at 2 or 3... but I can't figure out which! According to my calculations, if it is 4 PM Eastern Time, it is 3 in my time zone... but if it is 20:00 UTC it is 2 in my time zone! Can someone please help me figure this out?

@BBJ11 - Don't feel too bad, I really cannot be credited for learning all 500 in seven weeks because I had already known nearly 40% of them before the Bible Bee!

I am thirteen and my birthday is May 15, if anyone cares to know. :)
EDITED: Matthew Minica, I would help if I could, but I don't know much about time zones. Sorry!

What do you mean "She's looking foward a twin"? I'm not sure if I understand!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HOPE YOU HAD A NICE DAY!

it is 4:00 pm (the quiz) in North Carolina

SBG - May 15 is my little brother's bday only he is 6
Bethany - Thank you.... she is looking for someone born on her birthday ... (i am too)

@Rachel Crosswhite--was that a riddle up in the comments? I was really confused when I read it, but if it is a riddle, it's a really hard one.
EDITED: I have never found anyone with my birthday, but it seems like I just did without meaning to. :) LOL

SBG - yes it is a riddle and it is hard (but the answer is so simple!)

Sorry, I don't know about time zones either. Sorry!

Rachel - I see. I don't know of anyone who was born on the 25th...

I can post the answer to the riddle now or later (like at the BB quiz)

I should be patient, but I am dying to know what it is now. :)
EDITED: Okay, I'm thinking...

I think I'll wait to give the answer. Think about it.

here is a hint. you can eat it.

got to go so bye SBG and Bethany ;)

@Rachel Crosswhite--I cheated, sorry! :( I looked on ask.com and got the answer...sorry, I should have waited!

I am 13 and my birthday is Nov. 10th - if anybody cares to know...

Rachel Crosswhite - about the time zones - that is all the info I needed. I now know that it is at 3 in my time zone, and that either I was wrong in my calculations or that the quiz room was wrong in the UTC time.

*big heave of my chest* Phew! I was hoping it wasn't going to be at 2 because I have piano lessons then!

OHH! I know the answer! Should I say it??

Rachel Crosswhite - I will let Andy answer that question about using the Feedback forum for your exciting 1 Peter project...

Quiz time - Yes, 20:00 GMT/UTC. If you need help figuring this out for your time zone, you can use a website like this: http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc. In Eastern Daylight Time, it will be 4:00 PM.

@Rachel Crosswhite - I am 11 years old. Hmmm... the youngest blogger? My birthday is November 17th. :)

I have no idea. :)

ahhhhh! YES!! no longer do I have to suffer having a profile of a purple hexagon!!!

what is your profile pic, Simeon?

Aragorn

I know exactly what you feel, Simeon - I was originally stuck with an angry, red octagon! Ugh!

haha! but id rather have red than purple

Yeah, I'm really gonna have to change my picture soon. The smiling, one-toothed blue triangle is really annoying. :)

@SBG - I think your picture is the most ammusing one I've seen on Memverse. I liked mine....I got a little, green, smiling circle :) I'm thinking about changing mine to a picture of me. You should do the same =)

Hey, I probably won't make the quiz tomorrow. :I But have fun everyone!!!

@Bethany--yeah, I've been thinking about changing this picture to one of me. But it'll take a while to get it figured out...
@Elizabeth--sorry you can't make it. I don't think I'll be able to either.

I hated my picture. I dont remember what it was i chaned it as fast as possible! my sister palamino is cute tho!

*changed

I liked mine, but I still decided to change it :)

This is kinda neat, my face on here that they gave me has glasses. And in I have glasses! :)

@Rachel Crosswhite, I think I know the answer to the riddle!!! Is it a watermelon!?!!

Elisabeth yes it is :)
Alex - okay :)
SBG and Bethany - would you like to help me keep up with this 1 PETER PROJECT? Since you two were the first to agree in memorizing 1 peter, I thought you'd like to help me keep up with everything :) Thanks :)

@ Simeon: Am I missing something, Simeon? Your profile picture is no longer a purple hexagon like it was before, but now it's a green hexagon. Where's the picture of Aragorn?

@Rachel Crosswhite--I'm sure I would help you keep up with it if I knew exactly what you meant by that. Do you want us to keep up with listing the people volunteering? Sorry for not completely understanding. I do that a lot...

Rachel - What exactly do you mean 'keep up with the 1 Peter project"? I'd be glad to help, whatever it is! Are you meaning accountability?

Also, I'm starting with just reading the whole book out aloud, we could start doing that if you want too. Unless, of course, you already starting it a different way...

well, just help me keep up with volunteering people, answer questions (if there are any) thing like that :) you get it?

Yeah, thanks, Rachel Crosswhite. I guess I should have figured that. But that's just me... :) Sure, I'll help.

Hey everybody.
About a week ago one of my friends was in the back of a truck and the truck accidentally backed into a small car crushing his right foot underneath the tail gate and against the bumper of the other car.
He has four broken toes, both ankle-bones, bones in his foot, and possibly a broken leg bone all on his right leg.
He will have surgery tomorrow. Please pray.

oh Matthew! That is awful! I will pray!!!!!

SBG - thank you :)

Thanks a bunch. When his medicine wears off he's in a lot of pain.

Yikes, Matthew! Yeah, I'll pray. Definitely.

Thanks SBG. Isn't it a great comfort that God has a plan and purpose for everything?

Christian Alexander- have you seen the movie (lord of the rings)?

Yup. But it was a long time ago that I saw the three movies. I probably didn't understand nearly as much as I would now.

For a while my dad has been planning a party where we'll get together with friends and watch all three movies only stopping for lunch and dinner. :D I hope it happens soon!

And I'm also very excited to see The Hobbit Part 1 next year and Part 2 in 2013!

@Matthew - ohhhhhhhh so sad! i told my mom... what is his name?

I finished our BB game tonight!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOO excited - I made it myself! The game pieces are sooo fun. We haven't played it yet but maybe I can post the game as my profile picture later!!! How'd ya'll like that? Tell me and if there's a majority I will post it!!!

@Ashley- which narnia book? my fav movie is the 2008 prince caspian or 2010 voyage of the dawn treader...will (eustace actor) crackedme up when i saw the latter..

Thanks BBJ. His name is Jacob.

Just a quick note that we've worked on the scoreboard issue which we think was causing some of you to not be able to see any more questions after the first one and believe we have resolved it. If you had trouble last week with the quiz, it would be particularly helpful if you could try again this week to see if the issues have been resolved. We also figured out why the chat wasn't allowing colons, so now you should be able to smile again in your messages. :) Thanks for your patience and hope to see you at the quiz!

One other thing: those of you who have your bible translation in your name should remove it. We have widened the scoreboard a bit but that will help with the scores wrapping around to a new line.

Andy - I have mine as "Bethany (Bible Bee)". Do you think that I should take out "(Bible Bee)" Just wondering...

Ohhhh... Matthew that is awful. I will definetly be praying. I'm REALLY behind in memorizing. I've tried all the tips people have given but I'm still behind.

is anyone in the chat room? I can't see anyone's messages if you are

I didn't make it to the quiz so what's the answer to the riddle??????????????

If we're joining memorizing the whole Bible does that count as memorizing 1 Peter?

the answer to the riddle is "a watermelon" .... BTW the quiz hasn't started yet .... in 40 minutes

Rachel - Yes it does, in answer to your question! Are you joining with us then?

Rachel Crosswhite - I can't wait for the quiz. I've been reviewing for it though. Oh Rachel, just in case you didn't see Andy's comment, he doesn't want you to have your version in your name, because then your name won't fit easily in the scoreboards. You might consider taking it off :) Thanks =)

This is my first quiz and I and excited! :)

Sure! But let me finish the Bible Bee first and I'll memorize 1 Peter through the school year.

@SBG Actually, I like your smiling, one-toothed blue triangle. : )

wow that is the fifth Rachel I have seen here. :-P

@BBJ11 I beat you!!!!!!!!!!! I'm the youngest blogger, I think. I'm (drumroll, please) 10! and my birthday's on November 17th, too!!!! Well, we found are twins!

Rachel - I'm totally with you on that! I like his face on Memverse :)

Really, Andrew1? I've only counted 2.....

I won't be at the quiz because I'm behind in memorizing and haven't got to this week yet.

Hey - The chat quiz isn't working anymore for me!

Rachel - That's fine. We are trying to do review, though, so you might know some of the verses. Just a thought for next time.

Quick note to Zachary Baas who may have not seen Andy's message on the Live Chat on the quiz: Andy was saying, "Zach - I think you lost your connection when you sent the countdown so rapidly." Thanks.

Alex - it runied it all when i did that - and i missed Q4-12. and probably all the rest of them! Can this be fixed somehow?

@Rachel - really? Wow!!! And there's another Senior on here whose birthday is Nov 17th!!! That is soooo funny...:)

I will post my Bible Bee game as my profile picture soon. :) Maybe tomorrow...:) sorry I missed the quiz...

That quiz was fun.

Zachary - It should be fine next time if you don't post as many chats.

Here are the scores from the first Friday, July 29 Bible Bee quiz at 4:00 PM EDT:

Nina 110

Good job everyone!

Rachel, it is fine if you want to use the feedback forum for organizing the 1 Peter project. Please put it under the 'Idea' category and clearly label it with a meaningful heading.

Thanks for doing the quiz Alex! I enjoyed it a lot!

@Andy Are you talking to me?

@Rachel - no I believe he is talking to Rachel4Him...unless you came up with the idea of memorizing 1 Peter...:) LOL

@ Rachel4Christ do you think starting 1 Peter after the BB would be ok?

Wont be at the bible quiz this week. I would really like to be able to join one sometime. I keep forgeting. I will be away this week at an orchestra camp in the mountains. Wont be back till a week from this sunday. sorry i missied this afternoon. I was grocery shopping with my mom. BTW simeon-I love your picture!

@ Alex is there a possibility that a search box could be made for the tag cloud i have trouble search for topics in it. Thanks

Good, idea, Simeon! I have always found it difficult to find topics on the tag cloud that do not stand out.

OK. Thank you, Alex

@Smiles - ohhhhhhhh HAVE FUN!!! The orchestra I'm in only has concerts.

Thanks for the quiz last night, Alex and Andy! It was great! And guys, do you really like the blue triangle? I never liked it. But I found out that I'm not allowed to put my picture here, so maybe I'll keep it. But maybe it would be a better idea to just change it to something else, like Simeon, BBJ11, or Zachary Baas. But if you like it THAT much, maybe I won't go through the trouble of doing that.

SBG - This is my personal opinion...I really like it :) But, of course, it your pictures, so you can do whatever you want to do with it. Did you do your reading yesterday?

@Bethany--all right, I guess I'll keep the picture. And yes, I did my reading yesterday and today. It is so amazing to get that much variety in so little time! I had no idea that reading the Bible could be so... exciting! Did you do your reading yesterday and today yet? And who should my next person be...? How about Josiah DeGraaf? Did you read your portion of the Bible yet? :)

Not yet... I'll probably end up doing it sometime close to before I go to bed...

@SBG - if you like narnia, I have the perfect website for you to change your photo to. ;) their graphic avatars are totally cool! read what portion? of what... sorry mustve missed out on that part

Andy - thank you very much!!! :)
Simeon - that is what I was planning to do. Are you joining us?
SavedByGrace - I have decided to do the reading with you and everyone. I'm doing 4 chapters a day. Have you read your chapters today yet? I have.

Here is the current count for the 1 PETER project :)

-Rachel Crosswhite (Me)
-SavedByGrace
-Bethany
-Mr Walker
-Matthew Minica
-Josiah DeGraaf
-Marie Morris
-Eunice Sopia
-BibleBeeJunior11
-Ranch4Christ
-Rachel
-Simeon ??
= 12 people

Praise Jesus! This project is growing!!!

And thanks again Andy for letting me create a topic :) I'll post a link to it when it's created.

{{{to everyone who did not see the "announcement".....a bunch of us will be memorizing 1 Peter starting sometime in September. If you would like to join please leave a comment telling us you would like to do so. Thank you!!!}}}

I changed my screen name from Rachel Crosswhite (KJV) to Rachel4Him to Rachel Irene. just to get things strait..... :) do you like Rachel Irene or Rachel4Him better?

Here is the link to the 1 PETER project group... is it okay Andy?

http://getsatisfaction.com/memverse/topics/1_peter_project_group

@BBJ11--I was talking about the ten-chapters-of-the-Bible-a-day project I suggested in the post one down from this one (it was originally going to be seven chapters, but a link Alex suggested made me change it to ten). You don't have to do ten a day, just tell me if you are reading at least two chapters a day (I just made up that rule, but it seems fair), I will add you to my list. If ten chapters seems like way too much, check out the second link Alex suggested there. It might change your mind--I know it did mine! :)

@Rachel Crosswhite/Rachel4Him/Rachel Irene--As you can see, it doesn't really matter to me what your name is as long as it isn't too bulky for the scoreboard at the Friday quizzes. But if I had to give my personal opinion, I like Rachel Crosswhite best, because that's what I'm used to typing. :)

@Josiah DeGraaf--okay. Completely fine with me, as long as you get it done, or tried to. :)

Rachel I. C. - Yay! We have more people! This is very exciting. Thanks for updating the list, too :) Hmmm...I don't know what you should put your name as...do whatever you want to :)

Josiah: are you reading 10 chapters a day? If not, how many are you doing?

Simeon and Zachary - Regarding the tag cloud: Please try pressing CTRL + F when you are on the Tag Cloud page. Then type your "search term" in the box. This just uses your browser's built in searching ability. It will help you find all the occurrences of a word on that page. For now, I think that makes more sense than a special search engine... Thanks.

Rachel - You're always allowed to post relevant links to GetSatisfaction Memverse topics. :)

I'm keeping my name at Rachel Crosswhite since that is what you're used to. :)

@Rachel Irene - I like Rachel4Him & Rachel Crosswhite & Rachel Irene...either one fits me!!!

@SBG - Bible Bee is keeping me busy enough, plus Rachel Irene/Crosswhite/Rachel4Him challenged us to memorize 1 Peter. BtW, Rachel whatever!!!, I will do that after Bible Bee is TOTALLY OVER. If I don't make it to Nationals I will start in September. If I do, I will start somewhere in December or January. :)

@Bethany - I know! 12 people. TERRIFIC!!!

What reading? @BBJ11 Who's your favorite character in Narnia? Is that the game you were talking about (your picture) ?

@Rachel - no, this isn't the game because I haven't gotten a photo of it yet bu hopefully I can upload or download or whatever you do to get it to the computer tomorrow! lol :) My favorite character has to be Lucy Pevensie. I just needed a Georgie/Lucy break for a while!!! :)

@Bethany - I didn't know you were going to memorize 1 Peter !? How long will it take?

@ Rachel Irene did you change your name back to "Rachel crosswhite"? it doesnt look like it.

BTW- yes im in for memorizing I Peter!

@Alex who is the person that verifies the verses? and how often do you guys check i have a few verses that keep saying "pending verifcation"
thanks.

So, so far in our 1 Peter memorizing challenge we have:
--Rachel Crosswhite, of course
--Me, SavedByGrace
--Bethany (Bible Bee)
--Phil Walker
--Matthew Minica
--Josiah DeGraaf
--Marie Morris
--Eunice Sophia
--Bible Bee Junior 11
--Ranch4Christ
--Rachel
--Simeon
=12 people
Great! This project is growing rapidly! Anyone else want to memorize 1 Peter--before or after the Bible Bee finishes?

Simeon - Andy currently verifies verses, but I'm not sure how often he is able to get through what I expect is a long list of verses for one person to verify. I'm sure we'll keep improving, including the speed at which it takes verses to verify. Thanks for your patience. BTW: You can help verify verses in your version by going to this page on Memverse: http://www.memverse.com/check_verses.

Daniel - Welcome to Memverse! Yes, I am planning on memorizing 1 Peter. I'm starting by just reading it out loud each day....pretty soon it will be very familiar and it will be easy to memorize.

SBG - Good! Thanks for updating the list! 12 people...wow :)

@Saved by Grace - I am going to start memorizing 1 Peter also. Now, if you would, please explain how I am to do it. I hear people talking about reading it. I'm a little confused.

BTW - I have two accounts so I am using my other account. Just so you're not confused.

Okay, I did it. I put a picture of myself for my profile picture. Do you like this one or my old one better? I'm not sure if I like it....I need your opinion :)

@Bethany - WOW! Are you and Carissa (Bible Bee) sisters because you look A LOT alike!!!
@Carissa - yeah! I was like, whoa! what happened to her picture!!! lol

Perhaps it would be a good idea to move all of the discussion that is irrelevant to this post, to the "Staying on Topic" post on page 4. Thank you for your consideration.…

@ River La Belle sorry I would go there but I cant access page four...

@ River La Belle on the other hand it just worked for me and I got on page four.sorry.
BTW can you explain what your name means? mabye a bad question.

River La Belle - Thank you for the idea...yes, we can move to that other post...

ATTENTION EVERYONE! River would like us to move to the post "Stayong on Topic". Please be kind and when you are continuing on in these topics please go to that post to continue the converstation! Thank you! Let us respect his request that he made to us...so move on over to the other post.

=)

Moving over to "Staying on Topic" on page 4, Simeon, to answer your question.……

@River La Belle--I found page 4, but I can't find that post, if that's what it is...
@Bethany--um, the picture's fine, but it doesn't seem like I'm talking to the same person as I always was. But of course, if I ever put my picture on, I'd be disappointed if you all said that same thing, so it doesn't really matter what my opinion is.
P.S.--I've read my chapters for today; what about... Rachel Crosswhite?

@SBG - Okay, this is what you need to do...on the sidebar there is something called "Search Blog". Type in "Staying on Topic" and you should find it. The post was made by Mr. Walker. Did you find it?

We'll continue the picture conversation over there :)

Can we continue HERE?????????

Because I can't access pg 4 either!

BibleBeeJunior11 - cn the sidebar there is a place called "Seach Blog" type in "Staying on Topic"...I think you can find it from there. Oh, here's the link to it :

http://www.memverse.com/blog/main/Random_thoughts

Just copy that link to the address bar. Thanks!

@EVERYBODY - can we just keep to this blog post because it is WAY easier than going to page four and trying to find it. AGHHHHHHHHH!

Do you like my profile picture? Yes it is of my game. I love the little boat game piece! Its so fun...:)

This is from a blog qustion a long time ago,
I'm eleven and my birthday is March 23.

The reson I haven't been on here for a while is because we had friends over and we went to "Wake Nation" on Thursday, "Kings Island" on Friday, boating on Saterday, and the "Ball Game" and the "Faith Day Consert on Sunday. :):):):):D

SBG - not today but planning on it this afternoon. And you? BTW you are so funny when you said
-Rachel Crosswhite (of course!!) :)

Here is the current count for our memorizing 1 Peter
--Rachel Crosswhite , me
--SavedByGrace
--Bethany (Bible Bee)
--Phil Walker
--Matthew Minica
--Josiah DeGraaf
--Marie Morris
--Eunice Sophia
--Bible Bee Junior 11
--Ranch4Christ
--Rachel
--Simeon
--Carissa
=13 people

PTL - I am so blessed that you all want to do his with me :)
(i'll move to the staying on topic :) )

Yes, please keep all long running threads on the "Staying on Topic" blog post otherwise the blog ends up with a lot of comments that have nothing to do with the original topic. If that happens, people eventually stop reading the comments everywhere because they aren't relevant.

sorry about that Andy - I was the one who started it all on this post :) I just asked the question about the 1 Peter and the comments started coming in like rain :)

It will be much easier to get to the blogpost "Staying on Topic" if everyone just goes to the "Recent Comments" and clicks on the link to that blogpost wherever it is on that page.

Hi guys! So, I missed last week's quiz because I went to Washington DC for a conference, and had NO time to get on at 4EDT. BUT, I will be here (home) this week, and will be here (the quiz) on Friday! I am kinda really sad I missed the quiz! Can't wait to get back! I just had to go through 143 verses in my account to catch up from not being here! :P

I'm going to try to be there this Friday! I have to make myself a note

Yay!!! Memverse says I've memorized 4 verses!!!

OH YEAH!!!! I MEMORIZED my FIRST VERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEVITICUS 19:2

Congatulations, Matthew Sinclair & Elizabeth (KJV)!

Thanks BBJ.

Congratulation, Matthew and Elizabeth! I remember when I had memorized my first verse: Exodus 14:14! I have now memorized lots of verses, but I still vividly remember the day when I had memorized my first one...

Matthew and Elizabeth are you doing the Bible Bee?

Yesterday I memorized my first verse in my Bible Bee account (I have like 59 memorized in my personal account)...I actually memorized my first 21!!!! :D I wonder how today will go... :)

Congrats Matthew and Elizabeth!!!!!

I have memorized many verses since I started a while ago, but some of the verses I put on my first day I have STILL not memorized! Even though I marked them with 4s and 5s! Congradulations to those who memorized their first verses

Guess what! I think I will be able to do the quiz on Friday! Yay! I still have not seen the new system! So I am looking forward to it!

Yes Bethany we are. I'm a Junior Timothy Track and Elisabeth is a Junior National Track.

@Everybody: Thanks for the congrats. I just memorized my tenth verse!!!! Thanks everybody that prayed for my friend his surgery went well and he is doing better!!! 'u'
V

Great, Matthew! I was going to ask you about your friend today, but you beat me to it... ;) We have prayed for him every day since then. PRAYER WORKS!!

Hello Johnny
I totally forgive you for the hacking joke. And Thank you for your clear apology...I TOTALLY forgive you...no offence kept :)
God bless you Johnny. Keep serving him.
Rachel

Oh, that's funny... (well, not really at all) I didn't even see that there was a hacking problem, because we had company over during the second quiz. I forgive you too. Ditto on what Rachel Crosswhite said--no offense kept here either. Well, pretty much ditto on everything she said. I'm sure we all forgive you.

I love these quizzes but I haven't been able to do them because I'm behind! Could we do like a first 5 weeks review? That way I could join.

Ditto
SBG@ So true

For those of us that are not as ambitious as SavedByGrace and Rachel I am starting a group that will commit to memorizing Psalm 117. It's the smallest chapter in the Bible but little beginnings have big endings. Please join me.

Wow I didn't realize how short it is. Well it's a beginning.

I'll join, Matthew Sinclair! I might even finish today... ;)

Matthew, the funny thing is, I already have that Psalm in my Memverse, and have it about 99% memorized! Isn't Psalm 117 awesome? :)

Thanks SBG.
@Sarah: Neat, It is awesome.

Everyone that will do it please submit your answers on this blog post at 3:30 EDT on Friday, like this:

Psalm 117 KJV (or whatever your version is)
Text
Psalm 117

I will initiate the quiz and will check and post the score which will be one point for every correct word.(Reference not included) If those that would like to participate in memorizing it cannot be here at that time please notify me so I can make the time acceptable to everyone.

@ Sarah: You can still participate if you'd like to

Please notify me if any of ya'll want to memorize it.

@Sarah: You can still do the quiz if you want

Dear Alex
Do we have to RSVP or sign up to do the quiz tomorrow? If so can you tell me, so I can prepare for later quizzes

@Hannah Teeters: If your talking about the quiz I am talking about in my posts, this is not the Bible Bee quiz, this is a quiz on Psalm 117, But if not never mind.

Hannah - You do not have to RSVP for the Memverse Bible Bee Live Quiz tomorrow. Thanks and hope you can make it!

@Alex: Can you please make a blog post for memorizing Psalm 117 for me? It would be nice if I could do my quiz on a separate blog post.

Matthew, I will try to join you. I have no idea where I will be at 3:30 EDT, but if I'm home, I'll come on! :)

Thanks a bunch Sarah!

Same thing as Sarah said--I'll be there if I can! I've already added the chapter to my Memverse account and am working on it! I'm planning on being home all day tomorrow, but it's not like I always know exactly where I'll be... :)
EDITED: I'm sure the BB will put those verses in there some year. ;)

Thanks SBG

SBG, Im sure they'll use Psalm 117 one year too. It's really great!

Matthew - I agree Psalm 117 is a great Psalm. There is an urban legend that it is in the middle of the Bible.

It's been great to have you on the Live Quizzes for the Bible Bee. We are actually working to open the Live Quizzes system to others, but we're not ready for that yet. We've also decided that the blog is not suitable for quizzes, which is why we're building a new system (running quizzes on the blog is difficult with some new blog comment technology we've implemented and also can overload the commenting system). We appreciate your patience as we ask that you refrain from quizzes on the blog... You and others will one day be able to use a great Memverse Live Quizzes system!! We're getting there. Thanks Matthew. Hope to see you tomorrow at 4 PM EDT.

I'll try to attend the live quiz tomorrow; I'll be in the middle of a twelve hour trip as part of a three day trip to Yellowstone, but we should have internet access in the car (because of a special internet router), so doing the quiz should be a fun excursion on the long trip to get me from being bored :)

EDIT: About the middle chapter in the Bible, after some quick googling, I found that there is much debate between whether Psalm 117 or 118 is the middle chapter... I don't know why it would be so difficult to discover as it's a pretty black/white question but... *shrugs* I didn't feel like going through the researching to figure out which one was actually correct though...

I am sorry Alex. I will just have my group memorize it. Thank you for explaining it to me.

@SBG and Sarah: We wont be having a quiz but we can still memorize it.

Alex,
My dad is doing an oral quiz tomorrow (maybe at 7) with us and my younger sister has a wedding rehersal @ 5. How long does the quiz take, and do you need to know my Bible version?

Hannah - The quiz should take about half an hour. It is also fine if you can just participate for a little bit and have to leave. We've had others do that before too. As far as your Bible version, please make sure that the version you have set in your profile (Account > Profile) is the version you want to use for the Bible Bee quiz. Thanks.

Aack. I wish I could make the quiz today, but coming back from vacation really messed me up on my Bible Bee verse schedule. :P

I will do the quiz today. 4:00 EDT right? I'll finally be here! (I hope) See you all later on today!

Thanks alex

Alex, what weeks are we going to be doing? We're going to be doing 1-9, right? Eeek, this is going to be interesting...

I'll be here for the quiz!

Hannah Cupcake - That is understandable. We are doing some review, though, so if you decide you'd like to do it, that's fine.

Sarah - Right; verses anywhere from Week 1 - 9, mainly Primary.

Matthew - No need to apologize. OK, glad you should be able to come!

Matthew - I already have that Psalm memorized!!! =D

I'm here! I'm looking forward to a LOT of fun!!!

I almost have Psalm 117 memorized.

Oh, Alex
I found that I can't do it this week, But i'll try to next week. My host has a mock Bee tomorrow so I guess that makes up for it

ok. Hopefully we see you next time!

although it is not working. :(

Zachary - Please provide details and we'll try to help you. Thanks.

Wow. Did you actually see that? I could not see what I was posting!

I am on the live quiz. It is not starting on it and is acting like the quiz hasn't started yet. I even tried to reopen it in a new tab and it still would not work. It may be that I do't have the latest version of Google Chrome, but I don't see anymore the link where you can download the latest version. But again, that may not be the problem.

Zachary - Make sure you don't refresh the page. You really have to be patient - you may need to wait 3 or more minutes before you see a question, if you arrived late.

@Matthew Sinclair - ohhhhhhhh sorry! I didn't know that you had posted that because I wasn't able to get on all day yesterday and half the day before!!!! oops...:) well, I committed to Memorizing The Entire Bible so Psalm 119...ummm....I mean Psalm 117 will be part of it!

oh, Psalm 119 will be part of it too though!!! lol

BBJ11, is your pic a pic of you? Im so used to seeing the actor that played Lucy! :P

We had a great quiz yesterday, August 5, at 4:00 p.m. EDT (20:00 UTC). We actually ran two quizzes back to back. Everyone did well. Press on! "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9, NIV 1984)

Thanks for the reminder! I might actually be able to make it this time :)

Alex, thanks for the reminder and for doing the quizzes! I am wide awake and more excited about memverse, Scripture memory, Scripture, and our true Biblical God than ever before! Can't wait for the quiz.

Good job all! Keep studying - contest day is just 2 weeks away! Let's not forget that the Word itself is more precious than thousands of pieces of silver and gold (Psalm 119:72), and for that reason, we press on!

i had a great time @ the quiz 2day!

bbj11: is that a picture of reepicheep on the dawn treader?

I can't wait for contest day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please pray that I'll be ready :)

Hope to see many of you and your friends at the Finale Bible Bee Live Quizzes (Friday, August 19, and Friday, August 26, both at 4 p.m. EDT)!

Can't wait! I should be at both! :)

Lord-willing, so will I! That is, unless I die by then, Christ comes back, or I just simply don't have the time. ;) Can't wait! These quizzes help so much! We can have a slight taste of what it will be like at the locals this way. Thanks, Andy and Alex, for working to put this together!

Lord willing I will be at both!! It's sad that there are only two more quizzes :(

BibleBeeJunior11 ... do you still play your game? did you make your cards on your computer?

BTW Nicolas...congrats on memorizing your 300th verse!!!!!!

Alex...I clicked on the link to the quiz page for this week's quiz, and it said that there are 3 questions! Is this true?

Rachel--Yeah, you're right. And Week 12 says there are zero! Strange...

Rachel - That's because I'm not done writing the test. I'll finish it sometime Thursday probably. I had added a few questions to it last week because I wanted to test some changes that we were making to the quiz feature but didn't want to run the test quiz with an 18-question quiz. I usually add the questions Thursday evenings, but none of you knew that until Andy added the feature that says how many questions are in the quiz. :) Didn't mean to scare anyone. :)

okay... {{big sigh of relief}} =D it didn't really scare me, although it surprised me :)

I'm going to try to do the test tonight! I am at my grandparents so it will be with a computer I'm not used to working with! See you all tonight!

4:03 PM EDT quiz status update - we should be up and running again soon. Things need restarted. Thanks.

Update: Jamie - Please try refreshing in Google Chrome. Thanks.

Sorry I missed the quiz. Great job, everyone!

I missed the second quiz! I would have done a lot better :) But it probably wouldn't have even worked for me :(

sorry, I misseed the quiz yesterday

Phil, Jamie, and Hannah - Don't worry about missing the quiz, though we certainly hope that you all and others can participate next time.

Jamie - Sorry that you didn't realize there was another quiz. We almost always have a second quiz, so perhaps if you're able next time you can wait a few minutes after the first one ends to see if we decide to hold another one.

Only one more quiz to go and then we have the Local Bible Bees on Saturday, August 27th, across the United States!

I have 15 verse left!!!!!!! Alex...will the last quiz be longer than the previous ones? or will we have to different quizes...one with National and one with Timothy verses? That would be nice.

i have from Luke to the last one left. : ( I don't think I'll make it.

I now have ONLY 12 verses left!!!!!! I am SO excited!!!!

I'm really excited too--only 36 left for me! It may seem like a lot to Timothy Trackers, but really, for National Trackers it's not very much for just five days till the locals! (It's only about seven a day--and when you're really, really trying to memorize, that's not a whole lot!)
Sorry, Rachel (not Crosswhite), that you're not as far as you'd like to be. But keep trying, and God will allow you to do as much as He'll let you. Try your best, and you'll do well!

Keep up the good work everyone!

I have a few comments about the last quiz.

Ok, so it worked really well for me considering I was tethering off a phone, my laptop battery died in the middle of the 2nd quiz, and then I used my iPod...there were really no problems on the tech side, only on my side. One thing that happened to everyone is that the first time, everything bogged down after the 2nd Q of the first quiz. Alex quickly fixed that. Thank you! :) I thought I had something else to say, but I must've forgotten.

Alex, Andy, Mr. Walker, Im really excited because after knowing html, and some CSS for a while, I am now taking Windows Programming (ugh, I'd rather do stuff on Mac's lol) doing C#, and after that, I plan on learning Ruby on Rails because I would LOVE to help you guys out! I really do enjoy programming. So, why not use it for God's glory, right? So, maybe in a year I'll be helping you guys out. :)

Also, I only have about 150 of my 800 verses memorized, and most of those are Primary. So, this week I am mostly just reading over the verses so that I'm familiar with them for the Written Test. I'm doing great in my Sword Study, though. Today I will do Week 12, Days 1 and 2, and then I'll be on track to finish! I am so happy since I only got to Week 5 last year! :)

I love this song, and hopefully everyone feels encouraged by it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8JsRxVczmQ

Sarah - we would love to have you join us in contributing to Memverse!! Any language you learn will improve your programming skills so nothing is wasted. Every programming language you learn takes half as long as the previous one. This is a long term project so you have plenty of time :)

Sarah - Yes, that would be great! A lot of people who develop Ruby on Rails use Mac, so that part should work well. :) Since I don't have a Mac, I use Linux (works better for development than Windows).

Regarding the next Live Quiz for the Bible Bee on August 26 - If all goes as planned, the first 12 questions will be Primary Timothy, the next 5 will be Junior Timothy, and the last 3 will be Senior Timothy. Hopefully this will work better. I would like to post the scores in the comments at each of those marks so you can see scores from the first part with Primary Timothy verses, from the second part with Junior Timothy, and from the third part with Senior Timothy. I'm not sure if I'll be able to re-run the quiz on Friday, as we may be helping our Local Bee get setup... Thanks all and hope to see you at the quiz!

That sounds wonderful Alex!!!

I hope I will be able to participate in this last quiz! However, I have to help set up for the Bee tomorrow night. (My parents are hosting) So I might not be able to do it. I hope I will though!

Hope you can too Jamie!! You're TT, right?

I really hope I can make the quiz later today! Since my family is hosting, we'll be at the church all day (leaving in a little bit), and last week I was at the church, and the internet wasn't that great. As long as I remember to bring my charger (forgot last week) I should be good. If worst comes to worst, I'll use my iPod again. :P Alex, the iPod worked! It just got overloaded a couple times and quit the browser, but I was able to get back in fairly quickly.

I am so happy to be able to learn a bunch of programming! I really want to learn Ruby on Rails to help you guys. When I do learn it, I'll be self-teaching myself lol. Well, that's probably how most people learn programming languages lol. I can't wait! :)

I'll REALLY try to make it today... But, as I'm in the car and the internet router is kind of shaky... We'll see... I'll try though!

So, how do I sign up? Like do I fill a form out or something? And where do I find the links for the past quizzes so I can make sure my browser works? I have Mozilla Firefox.

@ Brittany, You don't have to sign up or anything. Just go to the link above. I don't know if you can test your browser or not. I think Firefox should work fine though.

@ Brittany, You can go to the quiz and type something in the chat box just to make sure your browser works.

I keep forgeting to do the quizzes. But, this time i'll do it. I can't wait 4 2morrow (BIBLE BEE)!

Josiah - OK, I hope it works for you! If not, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Tirzah - Sounds good!

Alex, ChampionBuilders(KJV) is having problems with the chat.

If anyone has trouble with the quiz and can't communicate with us via the chat, please let us know either through the Feedback or blog comments. It would be helpful to know which browser and version you are using. Thanks.

Yes, championbuilders is. thanks vburk
I dont' see our comments at all - or any of you for that matter

We are using IE8 but we've never had a problem before.

The Finale Bible Bee Live Quiz went well and I think it was encouraging to everyone. Thanks to everyone who came! I have been encouraged each week by seeing you all demonstrate diligence in your studies and grace and encouragement toward one another during the quizzes. It's been a lot of fun! I apologize for technical difficulties with ChampionBuilders that we were not able to resolve this time. If you are able to give us feedback on that, we would can try to help you through the Feedback or blog comments. (We could see your chat messages, but you couldn't see ours.)

Since the quiz was constructed with the first 12 questions being Primary Timothy, the next 5 Junior Timothy, and the last 3 Senior Timothy, I copied the scores at each of those segments. By the end of the quiz, we had 40 participants - praise God!

I hope you all do well at your Local Bees and see God's grace throughout this summer's study of His Word. Having His Word hid in our hearts is the greatest treasure of all - it is a means of His grace as He guides, strengthens, corrects, disciplines, encourages and nourishes us. To Him be the glory! One Bible Bee passage I've been thinking about recently is from 1 Peter 4:11 (not a memory verse, but part of the Sword Study), which says that "If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God." Let's ask God to help us do that tomorrow.

This was so much fun! Too bad I can't type very well. I knew the answer to most of the questions, but I kept misspelling words or forgetting to press submit in time.

But, hey, it was soooooooooo much fun! And, Alex, you were really encouraging and funny. Thanks so much to everyone who made this possible. You guys rock!

Thanks for the quiz, Alex! Also, where's the "Rest Schedule" button? Or do you have to be over-due so many to let it show up? I'm a little confused about that right now.

Bethany - If you have three times more verses due than Memverse thinks you should, then you should find the "Reset Schedule" button on the "Home" page under the "Memverse Today" tab. :)

Heyy everyone! just wanted to say bible (for hamburg, ny) ended about 2 hours ago. And my family and i get a week long break b4 school starts (i'm homeschooled). I did horrible but, who cares! its still hiding God's word in my heart! I got a score of about 410. What did u guys get??????

Alex - how do I know if I have three times over-due on my account? I normally receive about 75 a day, and now I'm over-due about 305. It must not be three times over-due though, because I don't see the "Reset" button :)

I'm anxious to hear how you all did!

Bethany - Please refresh the "Home" page and try checking the "Memverse Today" tab again. If you still don't see the button, please let us know. Thanks. EDIT: Just realized that it's based off you having three times more verses than your minutes per day ("workload") would indicate, so it makes sense that it didn't give you the option...

Alex - I typed some of the verses in today, and so now I'm down to have 235 over-due. And again, I didn't see the button. You don't need to worry about it though, because I'll just try to get them all typed in before Wednesday :) Thanks for your help.

Alex, are we planning on having quizzes for the National contestants? That would be awesome! :)

Clara, r u here?

hi

Will we be having quizzes for this year's Bible Bee or are there too few verses to do it?

@Matthew - Yes, we're going to be preparing for that soon. We're hoping to add a feature for multiple-choice questions. Look forward to seeing you and the others in a renovated quiz room sometime soon! :)

Multiple choice?! WOW! Great!

I can't wait to see what the quiz room looks like, and what the questions will be like. Those quizzes were a great help last summer. :)

If there's a feature for multiple-choice, then maybe we can use some of the questions my volunteers and I make up for the practice tests! Cool!

I am so excited! This is going to be so much fun!

I would love to volunteer to lead quizzes (depending on the time) I am a BB alumni who wishes to still be doing the BB :) !!!!
