Hey everybody!!!! XD
2 Corinthians 5:17
First post! x) I don't believe I'll be here that much today, at least until this afternoon, possibly.
Matthew Minica
Second post! Good afternoon, everybody!
Matthew Minica
Peoples...please remember what an enjoyable time we had on here today...and be back here NEXT WEEK so we can do it again! xD
That's today! Where is everyone? ;)
2 Corinthians 5:17
I'm here for a bit! :) Hi! I might leave suddenly, though…
Matthew Minica
Hi Rachel! :D
2 Corinthians 5:17
Hello! x) What are you up to on this fine Saturday afternoon?
By the way, how is your great grandma doing? I just saw Brianna's prayer request on Scripture Typer. =/
Matthew Minica
Hello! x) What are you up to on this fine Saturday afternoon? By the way, how is your great grandma doing? I just saw Brianna's prayer request on Scripture Typer. =/
We're just taking a break in between going to church. :)
Well, she did better last night, but still needs lots of prayer, and so do our grandparents taking care of her - they're very tired and have been sick too.
2 Corinthians 5:17
I'll be praying for them! Does she live in TX near your family?
Matthew Minica
Yes - she's been living with our grandparents for a while, and they are about half an hour away.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Oh, that's nice! I also have one remaining great-grandparent: she's 94, but lives in CO. So the last time I saw her was in 2012. :(
Matthew Minica
Ah, okay. Do you know her very well? This is the only great-grandparent I've really known, although I did know another one to a lesser extent several years ago.
Matthew Minica
Still there? ;P
2 Corinthians 5:17
I sort of know her, yes. :) I mean, not in a real deep way, but we are good friends, if that makes sense. x) Her health is getting worse, though, as is her memory. So when I talked with her on the phone the other night, she asked how my baby was doing, thinking I was my Mom. xP x) My grandma, who lives with us, is going out to visit her on Monday.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Still there? ;P
Lol, sorry, I'm going back and forth between here and talking with my family. xD
Matthew Minica
Okay. Sure, that makes sense. :) It's kind of sad to see our grandparents grow old and frail, but it really makes me look forward to the day when we will all be given a new body!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Very true, amen!!
Random, but its now been six months since us group of BB-ers were at your house. :o
As you saw on the quiz chat, I gtg now ;) Farewell, friend!
Matthew Minica
Random, but its now been six months since us group of BB-ers were at your house. :o
Oh wow. Really? Time really flies… feels nostalgic now Well, then, half of our waiting time is over (Lord willing) xD
Matthew Minica
No pillow fight today… I suppose we're not likely to get 20 more pages. =P
K
Haha! I think they need to give us some sort of warning before they close the chat. XD
Matthew Minica
That would be pretty nice, but it's not that hard to track ten minutes from when the quiz ended… :P
K
No, it's not hard, but I never remember. :P
Matthew Minica
C'mon now, Bible Bee Brainiac! ^That's what my parents always tell me. xP^
K
facedesk Ouch. Hey, I'm out of practice! XD :P
Matthew Minica
^Don't hurt yourself!^ Oh, so that gets you off scot-free, then? xP jk
K
Yep. XD Hey, my brain is still so full of Ezekiel 31 and Zechariah 12 and confusing passages in John that you can't blame me for losing track of little things like when the chat ends! That information just kind of falls out! :P :D
Matthew Minica
Um… that is so two years ago. If you can still quote those passages, that's better than a lot of us can say! But that doesn't mean your brain is even close to out of memory space. xD
K
Haha, I actually can't quote those passages. XD Ezekiel 31 and the John passages are ones that I went over and over countless times (it seemed) and Zechariah 12 is a sore spot for me, since I had to pass it at 2014 Nats.
Matthew Minica
Hehe, didn't think so. ;P That was such a crazy year (as far as memory verses). I know!! I have those kinds of passages too - the ones I'll never forget and will always remind me of Bible Bee. xD Especially the ones I messed up on. xP
K
It was a crazy year, but looking back, I love the minor prophets. I felt like I learned about a whole new part of God's character that I'd never really thought that much about before. Isn't it weird how you always see things differently looking back?! :P
Matthew Minica
I agree! It was great to study Jonah and Nahum and all the rest of the prophets, I knew next to nothing about them before that. Haha, yep! That's because you have a new perspective and one closer to what God's is than what you had when you were in the thick of it. x)
K
Yeah, Mrs. McMahan did an excellent job with Jonah. She always does, but Jonah was especially good. She took a story that I've been hearing all of my life (and, to be completely honest, was a little bit bored by it) and made it new and interesting. I learned a lot. I really miss the Sword Studies. Haha, I guess so. :D
Matthew Minica
Know what you mean about being bored by it! But now, I'll never look at that story the same way again! :D
K
Haha, same here. :D
And I need to go help with supper now.
Matthew Minica
Okay, bye Katrina! Have a nice supper! :)
K
Bye! Thanks! :D
Joshua S
Only seventeen more pages to go!
Matthew Minica
Seventeen? This is only the second page for today.
Joshua S
Oh, I was counting page 40 as a full page for today. I guess that's not very accurate since there are only two posts on that page.
Matthew Minica
Ah, okay. Those were from yesterday, though… :P
Matthew Minica
Anyways, I'm going to have to leave here pretty quick. So you guys have… well, actually, I'm not sure whether to say if you should have a lot of fun without me, or not. xP
Matthew Minica
Ah, now only seventeen more pages!
Joshua S
Right. Well, they were within 24 hours from now at least!
Joshua S
Bye!
Matthew Minica
Which means we need seventeen pages in the next three hours, instead of six or so. Great, you just made it harder. :P jk
Matthew Minica
Goodnight Memverse!
Joshua S
peaceful crickets to lull everyone to sleep
