We're busy with other stuff! ;))
Wow y'all! I'm top on this group and I haven't had any time to review or anything (and I wasn't even a Junior last year) xP I realize y'all are probably working on the new passages and stuff, but a lot of them overlap xD
I took it on the 10th, haha =)
when are y'all taking the qualifying test?
I didn't take the time to count them :P
@Grace, how did you not know how many verses there were? :O
@E2, of course not :P As for CR context, I believe we are supposed to study them "in context" (if I remember correctly)
Do y'all know if we need to study CR context? :P
@E1, wow... Seniors have around 116 CRs... :O
@E2: The Juniors have 87 passages mentioned in the Cross-Reference list. =P
@Grace, 59 xD You didn't know?:P
@E2, how many do the Seniors have? (now that I know how many the Juniors have lol) xP
@E1, oh, okay xP How many CRs? =P
How many verses do Juniors have this year?:P
@Grace, I don't think we'll be deleting it xP The 2016 one was deleted, so I thought y'all might want to delete this one xP
@E1 and E2, I don't see a reason why we should delete it (although if we all joined Brianna's group, then we could just talk on there instead) xP LMK what you decide xD
@E1, I don't really want to delete it or anything, but I thought y'all might not want it anymore:P
@E2: I don't mind...but I would like to keep it :P You can if you really want to, though ;)
Should we delete this group or not? xP
@Grace, *sigh* I guess I'll just have to ask some Primaries when I get back xP @Brianna, I would join, but I'm not a Junior =[
I just created a new group with the locals passages for this year. It is called Bible Bee 2018 Counting Juniors, if you want to join.
Cause I have no idea where they are now xP
@Grace, why not? xP @Noah, what Grace said :P
@Elizabeth, uh, not really xP @Noah, you'll probably need to go to a different group to get the new verses (one that has 2018 in the title is most likely your best option, because chances are the verses are already uploaded).
@Noah, this group will probably be deleted like the 2016 counting group was xP You can't see how many 2018 passages you've memorized if you have 2017 and 2018 verses on here =P
Has anyone uploaded the Junior verses?
@Grace, can you get them for me? xP
@E2, I don't xP I believe, however, that they were listed on the G+ community xD @E1, YES! =D
@Grace: It is! xD *runs around the room in circles and throws confetti*
It is! :D Do any of y'all have the Primary passages?:P
I know! Isn't it exciting? :D Bible Bee begins again...xD
https://quizlet.com/299140165/bible-bee-2018-locals-junior-passages-esv-flash-cards/
@Suzanne, y'all are probably going to have to delete this group and make a new one, cause you can't see how many verses you've memorized if there are verses from two years xD Here's a Quizlet set with all the Junior passages :P
Hi guys! sorry I haven't been on the chat for a while! Can someone add the local Junior verses? I can't find the list in my DJ, but I see some verses listed here and there. Thanksssssss
@Grace: I agree with you, It isn't really ;) It is friendly, though xD
@E1, I don't even think it is an argument xP @E2, I usually don't either xD
@Grace, okay fine xP I don't rephrase what I say xP I just can't find a way to say it xD @E1, it is a friendly argument:D
@E2 @Grace: Oh dear...**pops popcorn while reading the "friendly argument"**
Well, since all I could see was what you SOUNDED like, you can't blame me for thinking you were being negative and pessimistic, can you? xP When I end up re-phrasing what I say it's because I think what I've said is too long and complicated xD
I admitted that I SOUNDED negative and pessimistic, but I didn't say I actually was xD I do think what I say, but not completely xP It's not a plan xP I just can't phrase things properly =[
AHA! *grins* You just admitted that you sounded negative and pessimistic xDDD =P Wait, you don't think about what you say online? Not always a good plan...xP
@Grace, haha xP @E1, LOL XD Is it because I keep saying things that get answered with long speeches? :P And I don't actually think what I say on here xP Well I do, but I'm bad at saying things, so I sound very negative and pessimistic xP
@E2 @Grace: I had a feeling Elizabeth liked long speeches...Don't ask me why though...I don't know xP
Okay LOL XD NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :P :( I love your long speeches! :D
OK xP I was kind of joking around anyway x) Wait, what???? I think I'll have to cut it shorter next time =P xD
@Grace, I'm not being negative and pessimistic xP I may not study... xP But what if I like lengthy speeches? :P
@Grace: xP @E2: Don't worry, You'll do great! Besides, the test is a long while off from now ;D
@E2, WHAT KIND OF ATTITUDE IS THAT???? =P Seriously, do I need to get on my soapbox again already? I mean, the BB hasn't even officially "started" yet and you are already being negative and pessimistic xP If you study, you won't fail the test, so please don't say you are going to fail the test unless you are planning on not studying at all. In fact, even if you didn't study at all I'd bet you would do pretty well because you already have James memorized...and you know how BB works xD Bottom line: we don't want Grace going on and on and on and on and on and on again, and talking about the Israelites etc. etc. etc...so perhaps be a little more optimistic (or at least don't announce you're personal convictions about failure if you don't want a lengthy speech from yours truly) =P
I'm probably going to fail the test :O
@E2: I don't know...I won't know till it happens, though =P
@Grace, I don't like it either =[
@E2, I don't really like it xP Of course, I won't know for real until we get there, but it sounds like something I wouldn't like =P @E1, well, now you have the chance to finish xD
What do y'all think of the new way they're doing Proclaim! Day?:P
@E1, GJ! :D Yeah, that's cool! :P
@E2: Yay! Glad to hear it! Whoa, we literally posted at the same time. Right when I pressed the button yours popped up xP
@E2: Wow, cool! Yup, I'm working on it now ;P
Thanks! I'm well now... (IMHO XD)
@E1, well you can memorize it now! :D And we memorized lots of James passages in 2016... xD
@Grace, I was really surprised xD But I'm really happy cause I also have it memorized! :D
@E2: I hope you get better! Praying for you! :)
@Grace: That's so cool! I was a tiny bit surprised, but I'm super excited about it ;) I started Memorizing it a long time ago, but I never finished, and now I really wish I did :P
Great! xP So what do y'all think about the study book being James??? =D Were you surprised? xP I was surprised, but I am definitely happy since I already have James memorized x) Of course, so do half of the other BB-ers, but... =P
Because I can only access google, gmail, etc. when my dad connects to his office computer =( He is going to connect tomorrow to watch Senior Finals, so I can access gmail xD But he connected yesterday, so I got on, but I thought he wouldn't so I said that :P
Interesting - why is that? xP
Yeah... =| I can't access gmail until Wednesday >:(
Well, so did I, which is why I was surprised xP Yeah, that makes sense. Being cold is no fun, and getting sick from it isn't either...
I believe I got sick because I sat on a really cold place on the plane... Afterward my parents both sat there, and they said it was really cold xP
I thought I couldn't talk till I got back xP I'm pretty much well now :D
Because you told me you wouldn't talk to me till you got back xP Aw, that's too bad! I hope you get better soon xD
@Grace, why should I not be talking on here? :P I'm sick xP But otherwise, it's pretty good xD
@E2, *falls over* You're talking on here??? xP Well, it's good to hear from you xD How is your trip going so far? =P
@E1, I thought I wouldn't, but I can access everything on my dad's computer xD When I posted that, I used my mom's IPad (what I usually use), but now it's not working anymore, so I'm using my dad's computer =)
@E2: I thought you wouldn't be on ST :-0
@Grace, I think I've played for 8 years xD
@E1, OK xD I've been playing for about 9 years, but I'm not sure what level I'm at either xP I do play out of the hymnal/for church, and I've done recital like things before (such as Guild). I agree with E2 that they are slightly nerve-wracking xD @E2, how long have you played the piano? (I realize you won't answer this for a while, but that's OK) xP
@E1, what's level 2?:P Do you like recitals? They're nerve racking IMHO XP
And I do love to play the piano. I don't play for church, but I have a few piano hymn books.
@E2/Elizabeth xD @Grace: I've been playing for two and a half years, and I'm almost done with level 2, I think. But for my recital I'm doing a harder piece. It is a classical Sonatina =)
@Grace, okay, makes sense xP I have no idea what level I'm at xP What level are you?:P I don't xP Do you? =P
@E2, she said she didn't *have* to do school at the moment of the video call xP @E1 and E2, awesome! So I guess we all play the piano xP Do y'all know what level you're at in playing the piano (like, how far along are you)? Do either of y'all improvise from the hymnal/play for church? Just curious =) @E2, yes, I enjoy playing the piano xP
@E1, I play piano too! Do y'all like piano?:P
@Grace: Oh, ok! Y'all play the piano? That is awesome! I play the piano too :)
@Grace, I thought she said she didn't have school?:P
That's the only time she has, sooo... Yeah, I agree, it is smart xP
@Grace, ah, I see xD That's smart! :D
@E2's question (and E1's answer), Morgan's verses don't usually stay current that long, but she's started reviewing them in the car on the way to piano lessons every week xP They will go down, but she reviews approximately the same amount every time because the car drive is always the same length...resulting in a "constant" verse level xD
@E1, you're ahead of her! :P
How do Morgan's verses stay up so long?:P
Okay, okay, sorry xP *begs for forgiveness* Good luck then! =P =D =)
*glares at Elizabeth* I'VE had a busy week too xP In fact, I am currently very very busy and don't really have time to review except for Sunday afternoons...so my verses probably won't go up until then xP
GJ, E1! And don't worry, I understand business xP
Sorry! ice had a busy week last week!! But I'll do that today :)
EMMA!!! GRACE!!! Y'all better get those verses up!!!!! :D :P :)
@E2, yeah, no doubt xP @E1, no problem! Keep going strong xD
IDK what happened to your account xP Probably their glitches again... =[
Well, I know that they had the points/ranks for at least a year before I got them on the computer because they displayed the ranks and points for other people, but I didn't have any yet so I was confused xP
@Grace, it's not because you use the computer xP It's because they didn't have points and levels and ranks and all that until 2015 or so xD They already had it for a little while when I started xP
@E1, wow, you're doing great! Keep up the good work xD
@E2, rank 498 isn't that bad xP You could be unranked, you know! And the funny thing is that I haven't had time to review much at all...I'm only one level above what I was at Nationals xP @Both Es, neither of your ranks/points are bad at all. It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you keep your verses reviewed xD Since I use the computer, it didn't start counting by points/ranks until about a year and a half ago for me. I started at 0, even though I had thousands of verses current and had been using ST for like 4 years. If it hadn't done that, who knows what rank I'd be at xP
By verses current I'm rank 300, but that'll change cause I'm about to review ;)
@Grace @Elizabeth: Great job y'all!! :D I'm level 74, and at rank 640... :-/
@Grace, of course you didn't know :P Pretty much only my family (including grandparents) know that xP WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!! (That got pretty jumbled up, but I was saying WOW really long xPP) I'm at level 77 (almost 78) and rank 498 =[ By verses current I am 103, but by points I'm REALLY low...=(
@Elizabeth, OK! No problem-you can be E2! I didn't know that you were already known by that title xP I am currently rank 225 and am at level 87 xD @The new E1, be aware that you are now E1 =P And thanks, BTW! xD
What levels are y'all on?:P
@Grace @Elizabeth: xP I'm content with E1 for Elizabeth's sake,
@Grace, I'm E2 okay? xP My grandparents call me E2 :D And my email says I'm e2 xD
Yes, keep it up, E2! xP (note: Emma is "E2" because her last name comes after E1's last name in the alphabet) xD
@Emma, GJ!!! Keep it up! :P
@Elizabeth, Oh xP No wonder you were confused! xD
@Grace, okay I thought you were saying something about how I said ditto to Emma LOL XP
@Elizabeth, I was saying that you said, "IMO" instead of "IMHO"..."In my opinion" instead of "in my humble opinion". Nothing wrong with the way you said it, I was just teasing because you didn't say your opinion was humble xP
@Elizabeth: xD Thanks! @Grace, Oh, I see =P
I'm confused about what you're saying xP
@Elizabeth, you forgot the "humble" in your opinion =P @The two E's, it was easier to type xP
GJ Emma! Slow and steady wins the race!:P I wouldn't exactly call you slow, but you're not fast IMO XP
@Grace, ditto to Emma! xP
@Grace, @Elizabeth: Thanks! And Grace, I like how you called us the two E's xP
@Grace, okay xP @Emma, keep it up! GJ,
@The two E's, Sorry, but I've been to busy to review much xP Maybe tomorrow...xD BTW, GJ Emma! x)
Don't let those verses drop again!!! xP
@Elizabeth: Ok! xP **goes to get verses current and types furiously**
@Emma, so do it and get Grace to get hers too! :D
@Grace: Hehe xP Go Grace!! You can do it!
@Grace @Emma y'all need to go review!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
@Emma, aww! That means you'll pass me again xP (which you did, BTW) xD But hey, keep reviewing! It'll give me motivation =P
@Emma, YYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO REVIEW :D
**and then brushes all of it off of her xP** And now I'm off to reviewing! :D
@Elizabeth: I'm so glad to hear that!! You're welcome! **throws confetti all over Elizabeth**
@Elizabeth, that's correct xD
@Suzanne, we hardly talked, so Grace saw the messages :P
@Elizabeth, wonderful =D @Suzanne, you did, actually xP I saw it when I came back on from my month of media fasting xD
@Suzanne, around 11 PM on your birthday xP
@Grace, thank you!!! How did you know it was my birthday?
@Grace @Emma one of my sister's friends is doing BB! PTL! Thanks for all your help! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
@Grace, yeah I guess so xD
Oh, I see xP Well, I guess I wasn't paying attention to the details of the past since I had been gone for a month xD
I looked back at it, and it seems that I only asked Emma and Suzanne cause they have the app :P
@Grace, of course you don't have ST Pro xP
@Elizabeth, I don't have ST Pro, and I am currently 16...xD Thanks for conveying the message, BTW! =)
@Suzanne, Happy (really late) Birthday xP
xPPP But we were racing in December... And it's not been a few days since December...xP
Lol Elizabeth I know. I've been on a trip for the past few days so I didn't have much time xD
Now, Emma, it's waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy past the time when you said all your verses would be current xP When we race, we don't just race to get our verses current at one point:P True, we win when we get them all current once, but the point is to get our verses up and keep them up :D So now, you better get your verses up soon and keep them up =P And I'm not trying to sound bossy or commanding xD
@Suzanne, awesome!:P @Emma, I see xP It works for me after I sync it several times:D
@Elizabeth: When I first get on the app, it does that, too. But after I type in one or more verses, it comes up right ;)
@Emma, okay xP Mine is having some problems lately =| For example, they say I'm on level 1:(
Well, sometime the app blocks me out, if you know what I mean, but I don't think that is because of my account :-P
@Elizabeth: Um, no...not that I know of ;-)
@Emma, me too! Have there been glitches on your account these past few days?:P
@Emma @Suzanne Do y'all have ST Pro?:P
@Emma, I know she was 12 at Nats, but I don't know when her birthday is, so...xP
Lol! Thanks, @Elizabeth! I think Angela K. is a bit younger than me, so either almost 12 or 12 ;)
@Emma, I just remembered that we were in the same hallway at Nats!:P
GJ on your verses, Emma! Keep it up!:D
@Emma, I actually don't care you're older xP I was just wondering who was older xD Do you know how old Angela K is?:P
Happy birthday, Suzanne!! @Elizabeth: Yes, that is my birth date ;) **laughs evilly and rubs hands together, saying,"Yes, yes, I'm older than you!" xP jkjk
You were up at 11:00 PM... Wow... Do you usually do that, or was it just because it was your birthday? xP
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY, SUZANNE!!!!!:P🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Woohoo!:D
So you're older than me xD I was wondering which ones of the twelve year olds in semis were older than me :D
@Emma, LOL, yeah obviously xD
Which means that I'm obviously 12. xP
I will be 13 in June! ;-)
Okay sorry, I know this is weird, but how old is everyone?:P
Grace has charged me to tell y'all that she will be taking a break from social media for about a month ='(
@Emma, ok xP I haven't done much for the unofficial BB:[
@Elizabeth and @Grace: Y'all are so funny **rolls on the floor laughing
sorry Elizabeth...I've been focusing on the off season competition, but I promise they will be current soon ;)
I know they can't stay forever xD That's because you reviewed again!!!!!:P GJ though!=P You should get them to 715!!!
Wait a minute, did you say they dropped? xP They are still at 619, you know...xD =P
OKAY, OK!!! So they finally dropped xP They can't stay forever, y'know. xD
And they dropped again... xPPPPP
YOUR VERSES DROPPED!!!!!;P:O=)
@Elizabeth, I meant that the verses I *had* current weren't going down xD See, I'm still at 619!!! xP Oh wow, I hadn't noticed that!! xD
@Grace, we have the same number of successful attempts!:O:P:)
@Emma, this week's almost over, and you still haven't gotten any verses current... xPPP
You're supposed to have 715...:P
Nope...my verses haven't dropped at all since yesterday morning. I know, because my count is still at 619. I'm sure it'll drop later today, but for now it is the same xP xD *grins*
@Grace, I know... Your's are too:P *evil laugh*
@Elizabeth, It is! xD And your verses are dropping...xP
@Grace, ok xP Sounds interesting!:P
@Elizabeth, no, not currently =( I'm really busy right now. Also, one of my online classes is NT Literature and Interpretation, and by the end of the class I'll have read through the whole NT as various class assignments. Right now that's what I'm doing for my Bible reading (it's weird to have it as an assignment!). I wish I was, so that we could do it together =) Maybe next year! xD
@Emma, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!:P @Grace, okay! Are you doing it? xP
@Elizabeth, glad it was helpful to you! I haven't done it myself, but some BB people were, and I thought you might be interested x) LMK when you finish!!! :D @Emma, go for it!!!!! xD
Oops..sorry Elizabeth. I'll try to get them all current by next week ;-)
This is awesome, Grace! Thanks! I'm definitely doing it!:D
Cool! I'll check it out! xD
You could try this...
https://margaretfeinberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/UPDATED-LentReadingGuide2013smallpdf.com_.pdf
If you don't want to do that, then work out the math. Or, you could do each "day" on that guide as two days, and thus make it 80 days till completion instead of 40. It's up to you! Hopefully this'll help you...
So some people I know are reading the whole Bible in a year (3 chapters of OT and 1 chapter of NT per day), and I thought I should probably read the whole Bible xD Obviously, as a BBer, I won't have time to read the Bible in a year =| So... If I'm going to do it, I have to do it in 3 or less months =) Any suggestions of how much I should read a day?=P
EMMA!!! SUZANNE!!! Y'all can't let your verses drop just like that! JKJKJK XP
@Suzanne, yay! I'm glad that you're reviewing. Keep up the good work! @Elizabeth, yeah, technically it was me who said that xP BUT still...xD
@Grace, yeah she never said that xP @Morgan, but you did say you were going to keep it up...=P
No..., I never said that.
Yeah!!! xP Weren't you going to finish reviewing all your verses in 195 days??? xD
@Morgan, and I thought you wanted to keep it up????? xP
@Morgan, Oh. Got it. Past tense. xP
@Morgan, I thought you were trying to get your verses current?=P
Well, I did (subconciously!!) xP I was just not thinking, I guess xD
@Grace, yup! I actually thought you knew... xP
@Elizabeth, AHA!! No wonder you just added Habbakkuk xP Why did I not think of that before??? *facepalm* xD
@Elizabeth: Lord willing, I will :)
I was pretty sure you were too busy xP I don't have much time to study Habakkuk, because I have my own memorization schedule, plus unofficial BB... I'm still doing it though xD @Emma, are you doing the unofficial BB?;P
Yeah, no time x( It would be awesome, but since I might not get to do the real BB because of time constraints I really can't!!!!
I didn't think you would... xP
Yes, I know about it xP We aren't though x(
I said G plus, but it won't let me use the plus sign for some reason... xP
@Morgan, Grace probably knows from G xD
@Elizabeth, What is that? Since I have not heard of it, no, we are not doing it.
I have an ST group for unofficial Bible Bee verses xD It's called 'Unofficial Bible Bee', and I'll post the link later=)
Are any of y'all doing the unofficial BB?=P
@Emma, I just reviewed that one. Unfortunately, it was still on *gasp* 2 weeks!
@Emma, I'm afraid I can't sympathize with Job 37:1-23 because I didn't have to memorize it this year...xP However, I know the pain of typing long passages (such as Psalm 107:1-31) xD
Uh oh...looks like I've gotta type Job 37:1-23 xP :'-(
I'd better get reviewing!
No...my verses weren't dropping at the time, so I have no idea...ST recently was having problems with Jer. 31:31-40, which is 11 verses.. But now, my verses are dropping ;)
Or maybe her verses are dropping...and when she said that she was only missing 8 verses xP
Maybe she has two passages that are giving her problems xP (one of them being 2 Peter 3:8-15!) xD
@Emma, great!;P 2 Peter 3:8-15? xP That's only 8 verses, and you're missing 11 verses...=P *Is suddenly REALLY confused* x]
@Morgan and Elizabeth: Lol. Yay, almost all of my verses are showing! I think the problem might be 2 Pet. 3:8-15...:/
@Morgan, because you were the one who said shall xP
@Grace, LOL yeah sometimes I see the last post and then I'm so confused xP
@Elizabeth, never mind, I got it =P I was really confused at first with no context xD
@Elizabeth, what?? xP @Faith, yes! Keep up the good work xD
Yay! Someone else uses shall! xP
Thanks! I shall try to keep it up ;)
And she just does the opposite and drops three verses... LOL XP
@Morgan, yeah!! Keep reviewing xD
Okay, great job! Keep it up!;P
@Elizabeth, I could of..., I just reviewed what I saw.
@Morgan, wowww... You only reviewed six verses... You could've reviewed 23 verses... And I know you don't have Job 37:1-23 current (at least not on this group) cause you don't have enough verses;P
There! I passed her again.
@Morgan, Grace is right! @Grace, thanks!;P
@Morgan, Suzanne didn't pass you! She didn't review a single verse. Yours just dropped. Therefore, you passed her-the other direction!! xP @Elizabeth, good job BTW! @Emma, good job to you too! It'll probably right itself after a while. There always seem to be a few glitches. xD
Oh no! Suzanne passed me again :(
Yeah, probably xP Brianna had 774 verses at one point, and now she has 793;D
@Elizabeth: Yeah...xP. It'll probably come back in a few days =D
@Emma, awww that's too bad:[ I hate it when that happens xP
@Elizabeth: I just tried resetting the app, but it didn't work.. :/ oh well :)
@Emna, perhaps you could reset it...;P @Morgan, you definitely should do that (what Grace suggested)! xP
@Emma, that's too bad! Looks like you're missing 19. We know you're finished, though!!! xD @Morgan, that's OK, but you could probably review 4 verses every day (not passages, verses!). It would only take you approximately 195 days to get them all current xP
I wish I could say "I have all my verses current.....", But I don't have time ;(
I even tried syncing it. :(
I just finished, too! But all my verses aren't showing.. :'-(
@Emma, thanks!;P I'm sure you can get your's current this week;D
Great job, Elizabeth! I didn't check last night, so I woke up early to get mine current xP
@Emma, well you can't beat me now because I'm done!;P Thanks xD I had them all by 6:15 PM EST, but I didn't sync my app because I was offline, so... xP Hopefully it counts *goes to sync it*
@Elizabeth: But, I have a few passages up my sleeve *rubs hands together and mysteriously smiles
Oh no, Elizabeth!! How am I gonna beat you now?!?! *hysterically runs around the room while furiously reviewing verses xP Great job for getting in front of me Elizabeth
@Grace, well... I review every day, so yes, I had to go do it xP Hahaha xD
Awww man, Elizabeth!! You had to go and do it >:( xP Now I can't beat you. WAAAAAHHHHH!!!! xD
Oh, and Grace!;P @Morgan, well... You could've done a longer one to get more verses current... xD
Uggghhh... I'll have to beat Emma tonight xP
@Elizabeth, TOO LAZY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I just reviewed a small passage because it was the first one I saw.
It doesn't take that much longer to review an 8 verse passage than a 2 verse passage (about as much time as it takes to post on here!!) xP So, maybe it is the second option!!! xO BTW Elizabeth, I'm still ahead of you xD (relishing my victory while I have the chance, because once you review more I can't do anything about it). =P
@Grace, probably because she wasn't that far behind Suzanne, and she was too busy to review a long one xP Or *gasp* she was too lazy=O
@Morgan, what I don't get is why you reviewed such a short passage xP
This race'll probably end in a few days;D
@Morgan, yeah, your not at all hard to achieve goal LOL XP Big accomplishment, isn't it? LOL XD
@Elizabeth, Ha Ha, not very funny, but, hey, I made my goal =P
@Emma, I'm done reviewing for today, so you'll probably beat me>:(;P=|
@Grace: Great idea! I'll start reviewing right away xP
@Grace, ah okay xP I think I get it;D
Actually, I have been able to get that many before...so I guess you have a bad memory xP (jk; actually, the reason you probably don't remember me having that many is because I usually didn't have them all current at once) xD
@Grace, yeah I guess xP How come you were never able to get 700 on this group before?;P Or is my memory just that bad?=P=O @Morgan, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL *falls on the floor laughing*
I think I am going to review just one passage so that I can pass Suzanne.
@Elizabeth and Emma, I think you BOTH should review xP And thanks! I had some extra time this afternoon between church services, so that's what I did xD
@Emma, says who?!?!?! You're the one who's ahead LOL XP
Wow, Grace, great job! @Elizabeth: LOL. You are the one who shouldn't review xP
@Emma, no you shouldn't!!! XP JKJKJK @Grace, great job! Won't try to beat you till tomorrow xP I thought you could only get 600 some...=P
@Elizabeth, guess what!!! xD I have all my possible verses on this group current (at least, I think I do!!!) At any rate, I am ahead of you now xP
I REALLY need to review...
Ugh!! I guess I should review too... xP And you don't have to rub it in, Elizabeth!!! xD
Thanks, Elizabeth! I should get to reviewing xD
@Emma, thanks! And great job!;P
Great job, Elizabeth! And you, too, Grace! =D
@Elizabeth, in between the two, I think?
I just reviewed a bunch of short passages and I don't know why I didn't just review one long passage... LOL XD But anyway, I'm ahead of Emma and Grace xP
@Grace, same xP Good job!;P Maybe you will maybe you won't xD You can only get about 600 verses in this group, and I'm going to beat Emma today, and I'm going to review more tomorrow... But of course I might not because James 4:13-17 and Proverbs 27:1-2! xD
Oh, and BTW, I'm catching up with you xD I reviewed this morning for the second time after nationals, and I'm almost caught up with you! Maybe tomorrow I can get ahead...xP
I'm in between xP In other words, I'm introverted in some situations but extroverted in others...xD
Random question: Are y'all introverted or extroverted?;P
@Grace, yeah I am now xP Well I was excited that I was seven (I think it was seven) verses behind Emma;D
Currently, Elizabeth, you're ahead xD (what were you so excited about???) xP
Thanks xD Now you're one verse ahead of me... And I'm not reviewing till tomorrow...>:[
Oh, no! Now I'd better review... Great job, Elizabeth! The results are going to be close 😁
Lol in that last post, you had me worried, @Elizabeth xP
*screams and decides not to tell what I'm so excited about* No, I didn't beat Emma xP
@Emma, I don't think so... I don't do very many verses per day, and my verses are continually dropping...>:[
@Elizabeth: Don't worry, I'm not too far ahead, you'll catch up :-]
EMMA!!!!! HOW AM I EVER GOING TO CATCH UP?!?!?! xP
@Emma, okay xP Yes it's probably better;D
@Grace: Thanks! @Elizabeth: Except when the app isn't working, I just about always review on the app. In my opinion, it's better than the website :)
@Elizabeth, I haven't, but I should!!! xD @Elizabeth and Emma, y'all aren't that far apart. Keep up the good work!!!
@Elizabeth, No, I haven't.
Have y'all checked out the new BB website?;P I always play the created song when I do ST on the computer, and it just makes me feel like crying (but I haven't cried yet...)! xD All those memories of Nationals...xP
*sigh* I guess I'll have to review tonight *sigh*
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! My verses are continually dropping, and you keep gaining verses!!!;P:O>:(
@Emma, I didn't think you would think I was mad, but it could seem like I was mad if you get what I mean LOL XP That's so cool! Do you usually review on the app?;P
@Elizabeth: I didn't think you were mad. ;) Im using the app, and I'm actually using an iPad, too! I also can't see how long this is lol 😁
BTW, I'm not mad when I write in caps xP I reviewed 44 verses today, so I guess I do a little bit less than you every day;D
@Emma, NOOOOO!!!!! THAT IS NOT WHY I WANT TO KNOW!!!!! I wanted to know because I'm a curious person and I wanted to know your goals for reviewing on ST XP FIFTY VERSES?!?!?! :0=O:O I do it by passages and cards =D For the 2017 passages, I do one locals passage, 2 ER, and 2 LR XD The Nats passages have to add up to 10 (or more) cards and all five passages have to add up to 15 or more cards:D I'm almost done with the local passages, so I'll do 3 passages for either ER or LR (it'll change every day) xD I'm on my mom's iPad, so I can't see how long this is, but I'm pretty sure this is long, so sorry in advance!;P Do you use computer or app? =P
I meant reviewing, not memorizing. Sorry
LOL I was kidding. I have a goal of memorising 50 verses a day, but some days I do more than that. ;) What about you?
@Elizabeth: (Says mysteriously) Why would you want to know that...so you can BEAT ME?! :-0
I meant 'do you review' not 'to do review' xD
@Emma, yeah, we're almost always just one verse apart LOL XP Well, I guess we both need to get going now!:P How many passages to do review every day?
@Elizabeth: At this point, I'm the one who needs to get going xD. And even if we hadn't started, now is as good as any time, since we are so close together.
@Emma, yes we are xP I checked and it seems like we did start... Thanks for the confirmation;P I'd better get going! xD
@Elizabeth....well, I thought we were...are we? We did start in Dec. I think.
@Morgan, what's not that bad? Your procrastination?;P
Well, maybe not THAT bad =P
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Emma's just one verse behind me:O @Emma, are we racing or not? I forgot if we started or not...LOL xP
@Faith @Grace, LOLOLOLOL I don't think y'all procrastinate that much... Or how can y'all do so much school, Bible Bee, get good rankings, and chat?:P
@Elizabeth, Same as Grace (I guess).
@Everyone, what are your new year resolutions? xP
@Grace, haha, I haven't done any either xD
@Everyone, how many if your new year resolutions have you finished? xP
@Elizabeth, If we go next year I will.
Happy (late) New Year everyone!
@Morgan, yup! You were indeed original xD
@Morgan, then why don't you do it? jk I did notice:P
@Elizabeth, I know. @All, Happy 2018!!!!! Notice I was original =P
@Morgan, LOL xP You should just do it once and then you probably won't forget to bring it=P
Happy new year y'all!!! (and that includes each and every one of you) xP
Happy New Year everyone!!!
@Elizabeth, I know..., it just always is a lot of work.
@Morgan, then don't procrastinate and just get it xP @Suzanne, some people don't wear their shirts because they get signatures xD
I wanted to get people to sign my shirt, but I still needed to wear it. maybe I'll use this year's shirt for people to sign next year??
@Elizabeth, I know..., but I always say to myself that I'll get it later and then forget again =P I went to Nats several years before I made it because of my siblings.
@Morgan, well, people only started asking me for signatures last year. And I never went to Nats before I made it, so obviously no one asked me for signatures before I made it LOL XD Well, you should go back to your room and get it:P
@Elizabeth, Even before I made it to Nats people still asked me fore signatures. @Suzanne, I guess so =P I am not nervous asking about them, I just always forget to bring my book. It's like I walk out of the hotel room "oops, I forgot my book" and then the next time it is 'to late' to get lots of signatures......, *sigh*
@Grace, well this year was my fourth year and I didn't see anyone asking for signatures before, so yeah >:( @Suzanne, nope! I am too, but I do it anyway xD
Am I the only one who feels really shy about asking people for signatures?
You are so not a procrastinator!!! How fortunate for you. Some of us are still wishing they would have gotten signatures 4 years ago at Nationals...and then three...and then two...and then one...and finally, this very last year.... xD Too bad you didn't know about the signatures, though. But how could you not if so many people were asking for signatures??? How many years have you been to Nationals?
@Grace, LOLOLOL XP I didn't know people got signatures until last year x[ I started at the dinner last year, but this year I started on the first day:D
@Elizabeth, every year I say I will, and every year I don't xP
@Brianna, yay! I beat you (maybe)! xP
Its Okay. I do not have my book with me and I am too lazy to look for it, but I got at least 30-40 signatures.
@Morgan and Grace, okay, for some reason I thought y'all were getting signatures xP @Brianna and Chelsea, how many signatures did y'all get (I'm 100% sure that you two were getting signatures)?:P I'm trying to see if I beat anyone LOL XD BTW, don't answer me if you don't want to a.k.a. if I'm way too nosy xP
@Brianna, how do you always keep your verses current? xP @Morgan, did you get home today?;P
@Elizabeth, I didn't get signatures *sigh* maybe next year! xP And Late Merry Christmas everybody!!!! xD
@Elizabeth, I didn't. @All, I was out of town for Christmas so I wasn't giving cheer...., but, Merry Christmas!!!!!!
@Brianna, better late than never!:P I figured out yesterday that if you had a perfect Oral, you would have been in semis (12th place)!:D
Merry Christmas! (I was a little late)
LOL; signatures are a wonderful reminder of Nats:P
Haha I was to lazy to ask for signatures xP
@Everyone, random question: Did y'all get signatures at Nats? If so, how many?:P
ooooh nice Bible Bee picture!!! *sigh* I miss Bible Bee...
I know-such good memories! xD
I just changed my picture to the BB program... *remembers running around getting signatures and wishes to do it again... SOON!!!!!*
=P It's a Christmas tree ornament:D
I LOVE it to Elizabeth! It is so cute!
So true! xD That's what I love about BB friends =D And I like your new picture, Elizabeth!
@Grace, yup! Proverbs 27:17 xD
Well thank y'all xP I guess I too can use some encouragement now and then xD
@Emma, I'm pretty sure you can xP @Grace, you're doing AMAZING, especially since you're a Senior AND you've only reviewed once xD
*Typo: no "cap" at the end xP
@Elizabeth: thanks! but I'm not sure about that;-) @Grace: You're doing great, considering you're a senior on a junior group doing junior verses, though most of them overlap...;). oh dear..here I go again with the somewhat long posts cap
Alas, my verses are dropping rapidly =( xP
You'll beat me soon enough, Emma=P
I think that's the title because they want feedback xP
Oh no I can't believe you're reviewing right now, Elizabeth! And at the worst timing...I'm ready to take you on (lol)xP
xP Thanks! At least I'm making SOME progress..;) Hm, that's a nice title for an email
GJ Emma! You beat Grace!=P
It's titled "We Want To Hear From You!"=D
Yes, last Tuesday BB sent an email=D
where do we find our rankings?? Was there an email sent out about it?
Oops, we started without you=O You should get going, Emma!=P
oh no! I didn't know we started! I'd better get to work :/
Okay xP I thought I remembered it being 5:21 from Senior Finals=D And we have 5:15-21, so...=P
It was through 5:21; sorry, typo! xP
Was it Ephesians 4:25-5:20 or 5:21? xP
Ok, I was guessing they were about 8-10 cards xP
Um, the Ephesians one was 10 cards, the Psalm 107 was 8 cards, and I don't know about the rest xP I do know that the Ephesians 4:25-5:20 had the most cards, though.
@Grace, how many cards are the longest Senior passages (the ones they called in Finals)?=P
I've actually reviewed several times... xP
I haven't reviewed any since nats.....
Thanks!=D It's not really that great of an accomplishment... xP I hope you can get some more (just not enough to beat me!)=P
Um, GJ Elizabeth! It may seem like a great accomplishment, especially when I tell you that I have only reviewed once since Nationals (and that was for about 20 minutes) xD Really though, good job on reviewing! Maybe I can get some in tomorrow....
Yup, it'll pry take a while for y'all to get there anyway! xP
Perhaps we could just start racing...=P
Ok. @Suzanne, your ahead of me :(
@Elizabeth: Sure! I'd love to race again! Let us know when you'll want to start, Morgan! @Suzanne: Don't worry, you'll catch up!! :D
Alright, we'll wait for a while xP But of course you can still review your passages=P
I will try!! But I'm at the bottom of the leaderboard :(
Nope. Sorry, don't have time at the moment. Once I get going with my school I will, though.
Well, Brianna can't really participate, because her verses are already current!=D Do the rest of y'all want to do it?=P
@Elizabeth, sounds good! I, of course, won't be participating, but...only one problem though. Brianna has like almost all of hers already current! xP Still, there's always second place!!! xD
@Emma, I am actually shocked at the number of people I beat ;) I think you should =P
Maybe we should do the race all over again and get our verses current...=D What do y'all think?
Haha, Emma! You better get going!=P
Oh no! Elizabeth reviewed more! I'd better get to work =P
@Elizabeth: xP oh ok. @Morgan: 79 is very good! think of how many people you did better than! Good job!
@Emma, thanks! And oops, Elizabeth! Guess I misinterpreted your statement wrongly!!! xP @Morgan, 2011 was the first year you did it (cause you had just turned 7). I started in 2009, skipped over 2010, and then have done it ever since xD I didn't make Nationals until 2014, though, but ever since then I have =D And just when I started to get "into it" I became too busy to study hard enough to make semis.... =(
I've done the BB since 2010 (or was it 11, Grace?) I wasn't "into it" until 2013, I still didn't make it to Nats till 2015 (I know sad...). =P
I was 198 locals in 2013 and then moved to Juniors; jumped back and then made Nats the next year. GREAT JOB, BRIANNA!!!!!!!!!!!! You were so close!!! @Chelsea, you tied with someone else I know!!!! For those who don't know I was 79 in Juniors (awful..., but I didn't study much).
@Emma, actually, I meant I beat you on ST=P And yes, I definitely get what you mean xP I wasn't very into it until 2016=D
Great job, Grace!! That's really good! I finally took a break from all my long posts xP
I think she meant at Nats xP And great job, everybody! For those who don't already know, I was 43 in Seniors =) Yes, GREAT JOB Brianna! You were REALLY REALLY close!!!!! x)
@Elizabeth: It's okay. :) 2014 was my first year at Nats, but my first year doing the Bible Bee was in 2012. Before 2014, I wasn't really "into it" if you know what I mean, though ;-) did you mean that you beat me at Nats or on ST? cause you literally beat me at both. If you mean on ST, it's not going to be for Long. xP
Thanks, Emma!=D Okay. Was 2014 your first year?=P I know you told me during semis, but I forgot xP
So close Brianna!! Great job, Chelsea!! @Elizabeth: Thanks Elizabeth!! CONGRATS!! And yes, I was in primary semis in 2014, but was first to get out ;) Those are great passages, Elizabeth. @All: Y'all did GREAT!!
Brianna is 16th and Chelsea is 29th=D
Great Job, Everybody!!!!!!!!
Wait???? What are Brianna and Chelsea's????
I realized I didn't post mine yet xP I was 4th=D I was sort of expecting that=D
Thank you Elizabeth. Y'all all did great!
CONGRATULATIONS BRIANNA AND CHELSEA!!!!! I was sooo excited when I saw your rankings! Y'all were sooooo close! Great job!=D
No, I meant that I guessed my rank right.
oh, you mean you guessed my rank right?
What did you guess right?=P
@Elizabeth, because I am BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only by a week....., but school comes first before everything :( :/ I got....... drum roll please....... Well, How about you guess and tell me yours and then I will tell you ;)
YOU CAN DO IT GRACEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope to survive...Online college classes + regular schoolwork + farm + Christmas = NO TIME! xP
@Morgan, you hope to get caught up in school?=O Why?=P
@Emma, I hope to get caught up in school =P and after that I do not know; probably memorize the last year passages I did not do and Colossians. Oh, and to review =P
Great goals, Emma!=P I was actually thinking about that sometime before, but then I decided that I should memorize the passages, because I've sort of forgotten them xP I'm doing last year's passages, and the verses I memorized during off-season last year (James, Psalm 119, John 1-4, and John 16-21)=D BTW, were you in semis in 2014?=P
