Hey guys, I'm pretty sure some of your have noticed this, but I just wanted to point out that we will be in Disney on Halloween. XP

Today, two weeks after making it to Nats, I have reached the half-way point- 376 verses in process!
_____________

Studying for Bible Bee Nationals is like a really complicated piece of orchestra music. Nahum is the melody, the theme that everything else branches off of. As I go around learning and reviewing the verses that I have to memorize, it's like listening to each individual part practice, over and over and over again. They don't really make sense by themselves (especially the bass). After a while, as I listen to one part, I recall a small section of another part, and hear those two move in harmony with one another. I start realizing, "Oh, that's how it's supposed to sound." Then, I can start hearing multiple harmonies together. I hear them all day, even when I'm not practicing. And, please God, by the end of October, I will be able to listen to the orchestra play together in a grand performance of God's goodness!

It's been well over two days since I posted my picture and my bio on BB, but it still hasn't come up…

Do we have to put our pictures and bios up?

^ See above. :) Plus if you put your picture up, it will be a lot easier for us to recognize you at Nationals. :) So you don't have to, I guess… :P

We're planning on going to The Holy Land Experience instead of putting up with all the Halloween junk. Any1 else going?

My mom read some reviews on the Holy Land Experience that were saying that it was really unbiblical, gaudy, and cheesy. So we might not be going.

Make that about three days now. I guess I can't expect them to post it on the weekend, but it's still driving me nuts. (Well, maybe not quite. xP)

They finally put the verses into collections on Scripture Typer, but the I think the Senior ones might have all the verses from all the age groups in them!

I also qualified for Nationals. My name is Lindsey M. I look forward to meeting all of you there!

Congratulations Lindsey! Looks like we'll be sitting rather close in the Processional Room. :)

Could you please post the link to the reviews?

Well, my dad has to allow new senders to my address (kinda like the admins here have to approve new users…) - so that's the reason it hasn't come through. :)
