and what do y'all think of the head covering?
hey what are we memorizing?
Im sorry ve been gone for a very long time. my uncle died of an heartattack at 27 :(
Hey Leah where's my title?
Back from the Bible Bee and working on the almost 600 review verses I came home to. AAAAAAAA.
We're leaving tomorrow!!!!!!!!
I'm kindof full of verses now, so maybe after the Bible Bee. P.S. We'll be gone until December 2nd. Long trip!
I typed "oops sorry" because i had posted "type a comment here" on accident. Then i was able to delete it. Sorry again. XP
Ooops. Um, sorry.
Any way, I got a tablet for my 13th birthday (ps. its awesome!!!), and I'm thinking about getting the app. Does any one here have it? can you tell me about it?
Hey, Ellie! I've got some really neat pictures. Maybe I can send you one. Or Leah can make a "temporary" administrator and I can change it. Leah, I LOVE your pic! Yours, too, Ellie. Can you join my group, Ellie? Here's a link: http://scripturetyper.com/Group/View/281ebfa445/
Leah joined. By the way, THANK YOU!!!!! It means so much. Can't wait to start memorizing!
Sure. What should I change it to?
Ellie the reason you have that option is because you are an adminastrater. Also can you change the group pic Ellie? you should be able to do that. I cant because i dont have any pics.
nvr mind ellie you can be both :)
Sorry ellie i just realized that you can either be an administrater or something else. So do you want to be an administrter or prayer leader? And also to Brianna, a prayer leader allows people to post prayer requests on his or her page. That prayer leader also has the responsability to actually pray. You cant just be prayer leader and pretend to pray.
Why do I have an option to remove everyone's comments? I'm just supposed to be able to remove my own?
I know, I look a little awkward and tilted in that picture. It was a Bible Bee one, though.
Happy Birthday, Brianna! And yes, what's a prayer leader supposed to do? And where does it say that I'm an administrator and what does that do? Thanks, Leah, for explaining where I got my title.
One more thing. What's a prayer leader supposed to do????
Sorry if I bragged. Yes, Leah, you can join. I think the best way to find me is to go to "my verses" then click "join group" and scroll down until you find encouraging teens. we've only memorized, like, 3 verses so we're way down there. ellie can join. really everyone. you dont HAVE to be a teen. i mean, i wasn't a teen when i founded it. i ended up changing the name from team memorizer. seemed kind of lame. XP any way, i just want to get some verses memorized. you dont need to be a teenager. maybe i should add that in some where. please join! i really need more members. thx!
Tomorrow I'm turning 13. I'm excited!!!
I know alot of you have been wondering about the details of this group so here they are.We have alot of points to this group. When we are in this group we get to talk and fellowship together. Also, if you didn't see our description, we ask each other questions about life, the bible, being a christian or any other questions that we have. Oh! and there was a lady who actually started the group only it had a different name. It was called "Girls for Christ." Unfortunatly, Carla (the lady) had to stop doing it for personal reasons. So I took on the "job" persay, but no one joined for a long time. Then I started to "advertise." I would post on random walls to come to the group , that was then when people started to file in. right now I have about six people, including myself. I understand that you can't make it to Hide his Word. It is disapointing, but I understand. A lady named Vessie already declined my invatation because she had too many groups.
Hi guys! I put Ellie, Brianna and me down as prayer leaders. So if you need prayer just post it on here or on one of our pages. Also Ellie is now a Group Administrater ( basically a leader in everything) as well as me just because she has been my friend for a long time now. Anyways.. first of all brianna i did found this group, the actual meaning is for us to post BIBLICAL questions to each other. Were is your group brianna i cant find it? Can i join im only Eleven. :)
Sarah, I saw you in the National Senior list. Congratulations! Are you not using Scripture Typer to memorize?
I don't think there are certain verses to memorize, Brianna.
Yes, I do go on every day, Brianna. From 1:30 to 2:30 (12:30 to 1:30 your time) is the best time for me. And by the way, I'm homeschooled too.
Hi, Leah! You're welcome. You did found this group, right? Well, are you supposed to memorize verses on this group? I don't see a section to do that. It just says "group rankings". And I don't know how to get that on my group. (speaking of which, please join! I only have two members)
Im homeschooled too! im 11
Hi brianna thanks for joining! :)
Ellie, where'd Leah go? she hasn't posted in a while.
Oh, so for everybody, they have to figure out what their time is? So if I was on at 8, you would have to be on at 9. I get it. I don't necessarily have a set time for scripture typer alone. I have regular computer time at 8, and sometimes I choose to do scripture typer then, but since its a school thing (I'm home schooled) I can do it really anytime. Sometimes on Saturday I'll get on earlier, but not often. I'll try to get on earlier once. Do you go on every day?
That last comment was 1:19, not 12:19. This clock is set on central, so my time is an hour ahead of that.
I'm in eastern. I don't go on at night though, usually. Sometime in the afternoon, but not between four and five. I'm not available then. I don't really have a set time I do Scripture Typer.

Visit this Christian website. My screen name is Brianna, just like this one. It rocks!!!
Thank you! Ok, so I'm 12. But I'm turning 13 on November 13th. :) Thank you for replying. What time zone are you in? I'm in central. Maybe if you told me we could figure out a time to chat. I go on every night except Sunday at around 8 pm.
I'm 13. Your picture is really pretty, Brianna.
I'll invite everyone I know with an E-mail address. Hey, Leah, you know how to change he picture for the group? It's not that hard. Look at my picture for my group. It has a bunch of pretty purple butterflies. I loved Music D. 's picture so much I saved the image. It's beautiful! So, I want to get a conversation going. How about.... what is you all's hobbies? I crochet. A lot. I got requests to makes wrist warmers and sell them. I've been super busy.
How old are you, Ellie? I'm 13. I saw Laura's 11. Who wants to chat???? :)
HI!!!!!!!
I've just joined. Hope that's okay. I have a group, too. It's called Encouraging Teens. I need teens and pastors to join (please!). Please check it out. I've only got one other member and we really need these verses memorized. Thanks!
I'm almost done memorizing! 24 verses to go!
I don't really know. I suppose studying, for one thing. So much to memorize.... Where is everyone, I wonder? No one has posted since I don't know when except you and me, Leah.
What are you all doing on.... halloween?
I'm here, and I was wondering the same thing.
My church has canceled it's Fall Festival. I have nothing to do on Halloween now. :(
No one has posted since September! WHERE DID YOU ALL GO?!?
She's still here. Colossians whatever-her-name-was disappeared. Does anyone know why, in the Bible Bee group I'm in, it has my "Verses Current" as one verse less than it is? That always bothers me.
were did Hannah 4 Horses go??
In 2010 there were just the 66 passages from the Local, and the same book of the Bible. This year there are the 24 Local ones plus 175 (that's Junior) passages and another book of the Bible. So now I have 199 passages and 2 books of the Bible! That's a lot. I am so sorry you can't be there.
Seriously? I'm sorry! That must be very disappointing. :( You went to Nationals last year? Did you compete? This is my second time competing in Nationals. It was much easier in 2010 though! :)
School is very busy for me. My school gives a lot of homework, so I will not be able to compete in the Bible Bee this year. I wish I could do the Bible Bee, but I didn't have enough time. I had a great experience going to National's last year, so I hope that maybe I can go another year.
I guess everyone's busy with school?
Thanks! That's the one I put on the Bible Bee site, in the National Contestants list.
i LOvE your new pic Ellie! :)
I did. I also saw that you were on Quizlet. I don't have an account, but I go on there to study.
It is definitely a lot of verses! I am not sure that I will have enough time to memorize all of them. I just started going to school this year (I have been previously homeschooled) and I have a lot of homework.
Ellie, if you scroll down to the S's on the senior page you'll find my name.
Hi all! I just wanted to say that you all did the BEST job! Whenever you take time to study God's word it is like you are saying I love you to God.
That's why I have 112 verses current and will soon have 119. I have 600(!) more verses, which are in 175! passages. I've been working ever since the day after the scores came out.
Wait, Tristie, you're in Seniors which means you have even more to memorize than I do. They sure make Nationals hard!
Great! I was 38th in Juniors. What is your last name? Maybe I can see you.
I made it into nationals also. I was 37th place in seniors. I was so excited!
4 other people from my Local made it too, and I know one of them, so I'll know at least one person at the Nationals.
I did! I found out last night and I was completely thrilled and then I was completely confused and dazed for the rest of the evening. And then I woke up early because I was so excited and now I'm working on putting the National verses onto Scripture Typer. For the Juniors there are 175 more passages which amount to 600!!!! verses. So, I'd better get started and do LOTS of studying.
Anyone make it to nationals?
Actually, forget my notice. I thought the Bible was the final authority because it was last year, but I was reading the rulebook this morning and it says the cards are. They change the rules. Did you notice that the number of contestants that go to Nationals went from 100 last year to 120 this year (for each division)? Nice. I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused with that notice.
What version you are using? I checked my NKJV Bible and it is the same as the NKJ cards. Thank you for the notice, though!
My visit to Tampa Florida was Awsome!
I know, she doesn't appear to be in the group.
yes where did she go?? That is what I was wondering. :(
I believe from the messages that her name is Allison. What happened to her? She disappeared into thin air.
What happened to Colossians_22-24-SR?
@Leah, I think you should keep it going, too!
I guess if we are in any other groups then we put it on their message wall.
How are we supposed to spread the word to people to join this group?
Thanks for your opinion Ellie! And also I think it is fun to have people here who are also christians that I can speak to. :)
Tristie, we had a winter in South Dakota that was like that. There was a three-day blizzard on Christmas Eve, Christmas, and the day after Christmas in 2009. It would get warm, snow would start to melt, and then it would freeze again, and there would be another blizzard. There was a drift about six feet high that covered the whole backyard. At the end of March, it was 80 degrees, and there were 3 feet of snow still on the ground.
I think you should keep Hide His Word. It's not completely for the Bible Bee, and besides, if it was, you could use it next year.
Thanks for the opinion allison!
I don't think it's really Bible Bee related, so I suppose you could keep it up. If you want to delete it, you can. Whatever you want.
I want to get everyone's opinion on this one.
So Guys, do you think I should keep on doing Hide His Word or delete it after Bible Bee?
My Birthday changes after 1/3 of the studying is over. :) So I'm 14 too. But I'll be 15 on August 1st.
Yeah, actually I think it's kind of cool, but it does feel a little weird! :) The same thing will happen to my younger brother in two years because his birthday is just a few days before mine.
Hello, Bethany. I'm doing Bible Bee too. You must be 14. I'm 13, and my birthday's in December so I'll be 13 for the whole thing. I can imagine how annoying that would be to be 14 and put in the Seniors because of your birthday!
@ Leah (sorry, just saw your question) no, I actually live in Washington state. :)
@Colossians3_22-24-SR - I love your picture! :D I'm doing Bible Bee too. I'm a senior this year. I'll be junior age at locals but senior age at the age deadline, so I'll probably be the youngest senior at our locals!
I'm from North Dakota. Our weather has been pretty weird this year - wet and warm sometimes, cold other times! :)
Finland is pretty cold in the winter. The snow wasn't all melted until April. We have had nice summer weather, though. It is normally 70 degrees.
Thank you for joining Sarah! I have a sister named Sarah too! Do you live in NC? Just wondering.
Thanks for the compliment on my score! In Florida the weather is also really strange. It would rain really hard for a few mins, then completly stop. Then it would start all over again!
Leah, it's kind of in the middle. MI weather is really strange. :) That's an excellent score! Keep up the diligent studying!
I got fifty-four out of sixty on the written test
My mock bee was this past Saturday.
Cool! Is Michigan Hot or cold on average? In NC it is usually Hot
I live in Michigan. I have never left the U.S. with the exception of to Canada. ;)
the only places ive been is Sweden, South Carolina, either Georgia or alabama, New york, atlanta, amsterdam and norway. My mom has been to alot of places too.
I was never out of the country. Is it very cold in Finland, Tristie?
WOW!! Tristie, you've been, like, every where!
I was borne in Rhode Island, but spent most of my life in Logan, Utah. Currently I am living in Louisville, Kentucky, though I just spent 7 months in Helsinki, Finland.
So, were is everyone from? I am from Raleigh, NC
I have to tell you all, Bible Bee has helped me to think more about pleasing God through normal things that you do everyday. Like doing the dishes cheerfully, not talking back, Those kind of things.
@Colossians3_22-24-SR : I agree with you about the importance of abiding in God's word. You have a good question, Allison, about how to abide in God while doing the normal things in life. To tell you the truth, I am not completely sure. I think the Bible Bee helps me think about God much of the day and try to focus on him. Abiding in him throughout the day could just be trying to live as a child of God would. Doing chores cheerfully and doing all you work as if you were working for God.
Awsome thoughts everyone! I am think that everyone should meditate on these kind of thoughts. Thriving to please God and trust in Him and His word.
Taylor, you can find the latest announcement under the announcement tab.
Your welcome, Leah! What was the latest announcement?
Leah, yes I have seen your latest announcement, and I will see what I can do. :)
Leah, you know how we are called to abide in Jesus Christ, but how do we do that, all the time, like when we're doing our chores, shopping, things like that, when we wouldn't otherwise be thinking about Jesus.
Tristie, in answer to my question, I think you are right. I think also, that abiding in Him, is spending time in His word, meditating on His word as we go about our daily lives, striving to obey His commandments, meditating and thinking about Him and who He is as we go about our daily tasks, praising Him, talking to Him all the time, and relishing in being a daughter of the King. Just some thoughts. :)
Thank you for joining Taylor!
Has everyone looked at the new announcement?
You know what I just realized? Hide His Word is lie a facebook for younger people....sort-of
Awsome answer Tristie, abiding in God DOES mean following him. I don't know how I could'nt have gotten it. I guess that I was just tired.
@Colossians3_22-24-SR : Yes, I am in the Bible Bee as well, and I am memorizing the Bible Bee verses.
I think abiding in God means walking with him throughout your daily life. I think it is keeping your focus on God and having him in your mind all day long. It is trying to walk like Jesus walked and love God and others. What do others think?
What do you mean?(i'm only eleven) And yes I am doing Bible Bee! :)
I have a question. What does abiding in God really look like, on a practical level?
Oh, cool! My name is Allison. Are you doing the Bible Bee this year? I am! :)
Thank you so much for joining colossians 3 22-24! i memorized Col. 3:22-24 at last years BB! Can you tell me your first name so I can call you by your real name?
We dont memorize anything. we just talk about our own issues, and we also ask questions to each other. I am a junior in BB
Hi everyone! I'm new to this group. My name is Allison and I'm 14 years old. What are you memorizing? Right now, I am memorizing the book of 1 John, as well as the Bible Bee 2013 verses. Does anyone else on here do the Bible Bee?
I understand Tristie! Have you looked at the new announcement?
My name is Tristie. I am 15 years old and have curly blonde hair. My favorite color is also bluish-green. :) I am living in Helsinki, Finland until the end of July, so it won't really work for me to be on at 11:00 because of the time change.
There is a new announcement that everyone needs to look at!
I was wondering if everyone could get one here at 11:00 am every day so we can chat? Please reply and say if you can come on. Thanks!
My verses are back to normal!
Since we are sisters in Christ, I guess I will share some things about myself. I am 11 years old, affrican-american ( but my skin is really light) and my fav colour is blue-green.
I just realized 2 things. Well first, I have memorized 10 verses. But my if you look at my profile thingy, it says I have only memorized 2 verses. And now for the second thing. The time on scripture typer is 1 hour behind. Does anyone else have that problem?
I am a Bible bee Junior! Thank you so much for joining! Please tell others about this. Thank you so much again!
How many people here are in the Bible Bee?
I decided to join your group. :)
Hey Bethany! Thank you for joining! please tell others abot this place! thank you see you l8tr!
Hey Steph! Thanks for putting us up on #1! Could you do me a favor and tell other groups about this? Thanks!
Hi guys! You can start sending questions whenever you want
