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
Rachelle
Yuk! My family won't be going to the Disney part, we don't do Halloween.
God's Maiden of Virtue
Yup. That's one thing that annoys me most. Not only is it in Disney, but during Halloween. :P
Rachelle
When you boil it down, it's just celebrating death, satan himself, and his demons!
Everett C.
I know… I will definitely stay in the hotel all night.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Yup. That's one thing that annoys me most. Not _only_ is it in Disney, but during Halloween. :P
Ian R.2
I bet the hotel will be decked out in Halloween stuff. shudders Oh well, I don't think I'll care too much. :)
Everett C.
We live 15 minutes away from Disneyland :P
Emma
That's really cool!

Quote by Everett: "I know… I will definitely stay in the hotel all night."
Agreed!!
Child of God
Yes, if I had made it that was one of the things I was worried about! We don't do halloween either. :)

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

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!

That was a gross miss-scheduling, in my opinion. XD
Child of God
That is a really awesome interpretation!! :)
Matthew Minica
It's been well over two days since I posted my picture and my bio on BB, but it still hasn't come up…
#tryingnottobeimpatient
@Dani - That's a really neat way of putting it! xD
Ian R.2
Do we have to put our pictures and bios up?
Courtney M.
If you want your picture to be in the National program, you need to put it up…by sometime soon, I don't know when.
Matthew Minica
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
Ian R.2
Okay, thanks. :)
Ian R.2
Eh, I'll just put a blurry picture up then. XP
ZachB
We're planning on going to The Holy Land Experience instead of putting up with all the Halloween junk. Any1 else going?
Matthew Minica
We're thinking about it xD
ZachB
Have you been there before?
Matthew Minica
Nope, haven't. Haven't even been to Florida before. :P Have you?
ZachB
Nope!
Courtney M.
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.
Matthew Minica

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)

Ah, okay.
Emily H
You got to half way yesterday too?? Neat! :D
I like your description! That's exactly how it is.
Alex Watt
Welcome to the forums, Lindsey! I have approved your first post; all future posts will be automatically approved. And congratulations on making Nationals!
Emma
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!
Matthew Minica
Finally!
There's still a lot of people who haven't put up their picture though…
Matthew Minica
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. :)
God's Maiden of Virtue

Hey, your picture's up :)

Wow, yeah it does! :P Yikes! We have enough verses as it is! :P
Emma
IKR? I hope they fix it soon!
Matthew Minica
Hey, your picture's up :)
Which is why I said Finally! :P
BTW did you get my email? I'd like a reply asap, if you can. :)
Everett C.
Oh, I see. :P
I responded 2 days ago.. I forwarded it again to you.
ZachB
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.
Could you please post the link to the reviews?
Matthew Minica
Okay. My dad must not have let it through yet. I'll ask him.
Everett C.
I don't know. I sent something to my brother once and he received it 20 hours later… I sent it again though.
Matthew Minica
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. :)
Courtney M.
I haven't read the reviews myself…my mom says there were a lot of good reviews too, though! It's also just really expensive, especially for a whole big family to go… :-/
EDIT: we don't want to spend all that money to go and then not enjoy it if it's unBiblical and stuff…
Ian R.2
Guys, did you hear about the game show? =)
Everett C.
How did you find that? It looks interesting.
