Who do you want to win the Junior Finals? I'm cheering for Katrina.

Congratulations Everett for coming in third and Andrew for coming in fifth! :)

My mom just told me that if I don't make it next year we I might not be able to go because it is in Orlando. :(

Olivia didn't win??? stares with mouth hanging open in total shock ;-)

Great job, Katherine!!!! Also, great job to all the finalists!

Ditto!!! =D

Ditto as well!

Come on, Bible Bee! It's 2:05 EST! Those of us who are watching from home and have no idea what's going on are getting really impatient!!! :-)

Congratulations to Ryan Sinni for winning the Senior competition!

Ditto! :D

I know right? It was so intense! We were all sitting there and guessing who would win. They all did great :D

Huh?

The Davis's came back at the end of Senior Finals, and she looked okay. I'll bet that would be hard, though!

What happened??

Why did it have to end?!?! )=

I want to take you all home with me so we can do this all the time…. Or at least monthly… or something. I had more fun hanging out with new friends this week than anything else. Seriously. Noah and Dani especially, but really all of you, whether I met you for the first time or for the third or fourth, there aren't words to describe how much it all meant to me.

I know I'll be thinking about you all for weeks to come, and I already cannot wait until next year, if the Lord allows all of us to qualify again. May God bless you all as you travel back home and as you get back into your "normal" routines.

I feel like there's so much more to be said…. but I suppose I will end there, or I'll go on forever. d=

I'm so glad you all had such a great time!!

sniff sniff Just wishing I could have been there!

sniff sniff ur gonna make me cry!!! Lol jk :)

" How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on… when in your heart you begin to understand… there is no going back?"

Wow, Nationals was so great! It was fun seeing some of you guys there. About me getting 5th place, all the glory goes to the LORD! I messed up the final passage (John 17:7-26) which put me in fifth, but I'm still really thankful I made it to finals! Congrats to everyone here on Memverse who competed!

We're home!! :)

I'm kind of glad to be home, but mostly sad….<blockquote>Why did it have to end?!?!</blockquote> :( :(
It all went so fast!! And several of the people that I met, I didn't meet until Saturday!! Already miss everybody…..
oh well, I guess we all just need to qualify next year ;-)

Anyway (!), CONGRATS to all of the Semi finalists and Finalists on here!!! You all did a great job! :D

Congrats!!! I didn't know that was u being that ur last name isn't on here!! :) that's so awesome!

@Christian: I know exactly how you feel. I had so much fun hanging out with y'all and I was not ready for it to end at all. :'( Like you, Christian, the fun of the competition (which was amazing!) was eclipsed for me by just being able to see all my friends. Especially Caleb M., Emily, and the P's, as well as other friends who are not on here, but really all of you have earned a special place in my hearts. It's really hard for me because I don't really have any other friends to come back home to, well, at least not as special as everyone I know from Nationals. I know, Christian, I'm pretty much repeating you, but I can't really help it, because you voiced my feelings to the letter. :) :(

So ur still studing like crazy? ;) lol jk

Not anymore, unfortunately. :)

Yeah I miss nats sooo much. :'( oh course I never had to study :P lol for nats that is.

You're going to make me cry… Don't think I wouldn't either, I already did a little bit after we left yesterday. It was so amazing this year, I don't think any other year can compare!

I almost cried on the way home…..i've never been around such Christ-like people…..there are really no people where I live that are like the people I met this year at nationals.

Ditto…

Ditto...

Ditto. I was pretty good I just teared up till I got home them I almost completely broke down. I would have if my family hadn't been like right there. :P

i've never been around such Christ-like people.....there are really no people where I live that are like the people I met this year at nationals.

My feelings exactly.

Who won!? Who placed in Senior's? They won't let me see Senior winners on the Bible Bee website, just Junior and Primary.
I'm kinda sad that i didn't go to Nats… I would have loved to meet some of y'all! Maybe next year I'll place again… :) but next year will be my last… :(

Well…I didn't watch the Senior finals because I was babysitting my two little sisters. But Ryan Sinni won.

As Carissa said, Ryan Sinni won first place.
Lucy Alessio was 2nd, Bethany Xiques was 3rd, Rionna Flynn was 4th, and Anna Floyd was 5th.

I did cry after we got home…I miss everyone so much! :'( sniff

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ON MEMVERSE IN WAY TO LONG EITHER!!!!!!!! :) lol I MISS YOU!!!

Ditto to all of you…. :( :( sniff But I have to admit, it would be a whole lot more sad if Memverse didn't exist.

Don't even think about that! That would be horrible!

No kidding - none of us would know each other!
