I actually haven't read that yet... :P I just replied to the other part. But I'm going to! ^thanks for sending it^

Oh, haha. x) Let me know what you think!

If you don't know who Bruce Jenner is, and what he made the headlines for a couple weeks ago, you won't get it. =/ (And maybe it's better that you don't know… xP )

No I don't know who he is, and I haven't read the newspaper for about 3 and a 1/2 years… :P So no, I wouldn't know about that. :D
(Why?)

In this instance, innocence is bliss. If you really do want to know, ask your parents, as I don't want to tell you, sorry.

Ok. I guess I don't want to know then… :D

So how do you study for BB?

So what are you all doing? I was just enjoying some poetry for the second time in my life.

I'm chatting on this site called Memverse. They have forums where you can talk to friends. I just responded to someone named Peter.

Studying. :D You don't like poetry?

Deeply and diligently.

I would assume that. :D I meant methods of studying. :D

Oh my…how am I expected to answer that question in a comment? xP xP Lol…these first three weeks I've been working on getting very familiar with Jn 1-6…memorizing it, outlining the passage and details about it, reading commentaries, etc. :) Once the Study Guide comes out, that will be very helpful in your studying as a first time BB-er. :) Just make sure you know the jn 1-6 and the SG inside and out. ;) I will also be taking the practice tests that come out later in the BB season. SO helpful! ;) Be diligent in your studies, but take breaks, so your mind is fresh. ;) Pray for wisdom, as you can't study correctly without Christ!

As for everyone, this year is different, because of the switch in curriculum, so we all be learning how to study again, somewhat. xP x) But still the basics remain - understanding the study passage…both big picture and small details.

Ok!! Thanks, I have been a little hectic in my studying before this week, cuz I didn't really know how I was supposed to study ^if I was supposed to know about all the places and names mentioned, etc.^ but I think I'm finally figuring it out. Sorta. :P

I really like Adam Clarke- and his commentary can be found here:
http://www.studylight.org/commentaries/acc/

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown's commentary is also good:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/jfb/

I also like J. V. Mcgee, but his text commentaries aren't online. The audios are though:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/mcgee_j_vernon/

You will find cross references as you read commentaries and other things, but a good CR source is the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge:
http://www.studylight.org/commentaries/tsk/

I think that's a good start :D

Yes, knowing about the characters is excellent :) I also made an outline of all the places and times when the people in Jn 1-6 went places. xD

So what are you all doing? I was just enjoying some poetry for the second time in my life.
Studying. :D You don't like poetry?

It rarely interests me, and its boring, and its long, and hard to understand, and -makes you want to kill yourself,- and so on… But THIS Poetry was translated form German longsword manuscipt. And It actually makes sense!
Edit: the psalms are an exception. but they were also translated into English.

Ok!!! I gotta read it, and actually understand it, cuz I wanna take a CLEP test on literature. :D If you spend enough time thinking it out, and take the words apart, it's reasonably easy to understand, but I rarely read it unless I have to for school. :D What kind of books do you like reading?

Ok I cant link directly to it but fallow this link: http://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Other_Masters_%2814th_Century%29
then scroll down to treatise and then click [show] in the bar that says longsword
Its about 80 lines.

Yeah I've basically avoid poetry. I haven't read many modern books but I like Sherlock Holmes. and recently I've been studying these medieval/Renaissance Fuchbuchers (fight books) I found online.

Hi, Rachel! I'm doing well. What are you up to (besides BB study)? I'm working on putting a recap on the blog, so that's why I'm not replying very quickly.
