I just saw we had these challenges in 2017 (after 2016 Nats) xD Too bad not enough people are on this group for us to do that this year =( Last year there weren't enough people either =( I wonder where everyone went?? I feel like the BBers on ST are not as active as previous years... xP

I'm scared of all dogs xD
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Suzanne, deathly afraid of them? Hmm, interesting! I am only scared of dogs if they are wild (we have a bunch of coyote-like dogs in our area) or if they are trained to be mean or something xP Still, I don't blame you. Strange dogs can be scary :)
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Suzanne, finally! I don't know anyone else who's scared of dogs! :P

@Elizabeth, huh? That has GOT to be a fake dog!!! xP
for

@Ra72, I know this is a stupid question, but is your profile pic a real or fake dog? xP I hate dogs, so I'm very ignorant =) Sorry!:P

Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Ra72, they want to go out, but they aren't awake when it's cool =[ GJ! :D
It's amazing how differently the Lyme affects people. It's such a chameleon disease! Have you heard of the man who was diagnosed with ALS and given a few months to live but then took antibiotics for Lyme and got better? A friend was at the conference where he stood up out of his wheelchair and told his story. It was pretty amazing!
@Sarah, that's awesome! PTL!! I had oral antibiotics, shots, and an IV for a few months and they helped a lot, but it was some herbal protocols that helped the most!
You have to encourage someone to go with you! lol. We have to drive to get to the river too but my mom doesn't mind, she enjoys walking. Her and my dad are part of a group that hikes and stuff for several miles sometimes, but she takes pity on me and will take me out for shorter walks. I did 22 mins yesterday! Last week I could only do 10! :P
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Grace, nope =( We have to drive to get to them xP
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Elizabeth, we can't go outside unless someone else is up either xP No rivers? Do creeks count? xD @Sarah, that is interesting :)
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Ra72, well it's not hot when I wake up, but then no one else is up, and I can't go out myself, so... We don't have any rivers close to us =(
@Grace, yeah, I do remember xD
@Ra, thanks for the advice! She has a really good doctor, and what they are doing is working for her. The funny thing was that the normal treatments didn't work on her, but they tried more natural treatments, and she has been doing Great!
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
*Oops, I meant Psalm 53, not 56 xP @Ra, Yeah, reviewing them all at once could be problematic xD And I do love being around animals, though I can't say for myself that being around them is therapeutic because I'm around them all the time. I know my mom thinks it is xD@Elizabeth, well, I did tell you that - but do you remember what else I said? :P
@Elizabeth, you have to go early in the morning before it gets hot! And have a shady place by a river or something. I live not too far from the Delaware river and there's a nice towpath along the canals that's lovely to walk along! :) I'm going to try to build some strength and hopefully finally beat this illness once and for all, Lord -willing!
@Grace, yeah, when I review Psalms I do them all at once so it makes it worse! lol I should probably spread them out. I used to love being at the barn where I rode in the summer! I mucked stalls and stuff to help pay for boarding my horse and I have no sense of smell so that made it easier! xD There's something so therapeutic about being around animals!
@Sarah, does your cousin have a good doctor for the Lyme? A knowledgeable doctor is essential! And checking for coinfections! Since I had 2 it made treatment much more difficult but I had one of the top Lyme docs in the country. He actually wrote a book which might be helpful for your cousin. It's called "How Can I Get Better?" by Richard Horowitz

@Ra72, wow, that must be difficult! :( Keep seeking Christ! Press on! The verses I didn't review were some Bible Bee verses and also verses I memorized on my own, but I didn't have time to review until it was too late :( Yeah, I always get the Psalms confused =O But I usually get the ones I memorize for Bible Bee pretty good though xD I haven't really memorized many Psalms on my own, so IDK if I could remember them well if I tried xP My plans are to do Bible Bee, and we'll see what else I'll be doing xD I don't like walking in this time of the year =( It's way too hot >:( I prefer walking in the winter (although I don't like walking anytime) :D What are your plans? :P
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Ra72, yeah, there are a lot of Psalms that are really similar...xD I've had trouble, for instance, with Psalm 14 and Psalm 56 for a long time...and there are many, many others like that xP Well, currently my summer plans are to do school and to take care of the animals =P Oh, and hopefully do the Bible Bee =)
So do you guys have any plans for summer yet? (I must confess I'm definitely a winter person! lol) But this time of year is so nice for going out walking! :)
@Grace, I start getting the Psalms confused! lol. Some are so similar that I forget which verses are in which psalms sometimes! :P Romans 8 has been such a comfort! I love v18 "the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us" :D
@Sarah, Yes! :D He is the Great Physician! And even if I never get well on this earth, it just makes Heaven and the new earth more appealing!! :)
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Ra72, they were random verses that I crammed right before Nationals (a couple of Psalms, I believe) xD Wow, sounds like what you're going through is really tough. PTL that we can lean on Him when we go through things like that! Keep trusting Him =)
@Ra, thanks for the encouragement! I am sorry to hear that you having to deal with that. :'( one of my cousins is, and it is so hard for her. It sounds like you have put your faith and trust for healing in the best doctor ever! Congratulations you have found the best road to recovery.
(I do still get frustrated and discontented when it keeps me from memorizing or studying the Bible though! lol. But time away does make it all the sweeter when I can get back to it again! :)
@Sarah, Congratulations!! That's awesome! :D I'm undecided on what to work on next! Lol. I finished Romans 8 two months ago so I might keep going with the rest of Romans but there are also lots of Psalms I want to memorize too! :) I've had Lyme disease since I was 4 with 2 coinfections. We didn't realize until I was 14 and started having paralysis that I hadn't been treated properly. So it's been a rough road. But God is faithful and I'm very grateful for my illness. He's taught me so much through it and changed me for the better! :)
@Elizabeth @Grace, Lol well that makes me feel better! :P What verses got neglected for so long? We're they from books or just random?
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Ra72, I'm glad you're feeling better! Welcome back :D And currently I have some verses needing review that are on -550 days =O Basically, it's like Elizabeth said; at this point I don't really have them "memorized" anymore, and since I have 5,225 verses to be reviewed they're not really on the top of my list xP @Elizabeth, OK xP
@Ra, I am working on Chapter 4 now! What are you working on now? I am sorry to hear that you were sick, what have you been dealing with?
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Ra72, yay! PTL! :D Yep, you saw it right xP I just didn't review those verses for over a year :O At first I didn't review them much, and then I forgot them, so I had to wait until I rememorized them xD
Thanks! :D I was pretty sick but doing better now! Hurray!! Lol. Can't wait to get reviewing/memorizing again! :D @Elizabeth, 450 days?! How did that happen? @Sarah, how are you doing with James?
@Ra, welcome back! it is great to have you here, I was wondering what happened.
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Grace, I know she has a right to know, but you told her before, and you don't have to talk about it so much >:( @Ra72, welcome back! :D I'm fine! How are you?:P That's not as bad as I got xP At one point most of my verses were -450 days :O
Hey guys!! I'm back! How are y'all doing? It's been 77 days since I last reviewed! 😳

@Elizabeth, if you just review like 500 more (the ones that aren't current anymore) you'll be even with me xP xD
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Sarah, that just means that they're "due", which means I have to review them xD I didn't review them, so they're not current anymore, and I have like 500 less verses current now :O Hopefully that made sense... xP I'm not the best at explaining things :P
@Grace, Thanks!
@Elizabeth, Yeah I was talking about your verses going down. Does that mean that you need to review them?

@Sarah, tips or ideas for starting a group? What? I'm sorry, but you might need to clarify what you want tips or ideas for xP Sorry :P

for

for
~Grace~
I

@Elizabeth, ha! Me, smarter?? I had time when I was your age, and I wasn't even close to winning xP That shows you're definitely smarter xD Besides, you are now in the same division I am thanks to your win last year =P @Sarah, we'll let you know what it is when they release it! And that is kind of funny xP

@Sarah, they haven't released the study chapters yet, but they'll release them on May 25th (or somewhere around then):P The study guide will be out sometime at the very beginning of June if that's what you wanted to know =P
oh, so ironic, I just reviewed the verses I memorized for BB2015.
@Elizabeth and Grace, yeah my family definitely did the 2015 study. Again I repeat it is so cool that you both are doing it this year! BTW. what is the study material for this year?
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Sarah, oh yeah 2015 was super disorganized =| It's been better after that though :P And just know that I am not the smarter one cause Grace has less time for BB and in a harder division, so Grace is smarter xP
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Grace, well you reviewed more xP
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
Oh, and one more thing-(sorry Elizabeth, I couldn't help it!) xP If it sounds like Elizabeth and I are really smart, know that it is Elizabeth who is the smart one xD She actually won first place in Juniors last year! Now me, I've never even come close xP
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
Ah! That was the year it was John 1-6, right? Well, I must add that year was very disorganized because the management had just switched over. It was really a nightmare! I don't blame you if y'all don't want to do it again after that. It was really overwhelming, even for those of us who had made it to Nationals before. I'm glad you did get a chance to participate, though. And I did the summer study for four years before I made it to Nationals...it's hard! Most people don't make it their first year. Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to push you to participate, because I'm not. I guess I'm just enthusiastic about the Bible Bee because I've done it for the past eight years xP
@Grace, I think my family did the year 2015 summer study. I think it is cool that you and Elizabeth are doing it this year! And yes I did mean the the nationals.
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Elizabeth, bluh! xP I am so behind in my reviewing *sigh*
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
Anyone can do the summer study! I'm guessing you mean Nationals, but even though Nationals is fun, you can still do the summer study. The summer study is part of the competition, so if you participate, you're in the contest. The important thing isn't the competition, anyway. I'm not trying to make you do the summer study, but it would be neat if you did. Both Elizabeth and I are doing it this year x) I'm glad you've done it before, though, even if you don't do it this year. Which year[s] did y'all do it? (if you don't mind saying xP I'm just curious to know which book/study passage we studied that year, as some years were harder than others...)
@Grace, Our family looked into bible bee, but none of us ever got into the competition. Thanks for the suggestion!

for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
That's what I was guessing xP Are you still memorizing 2 Peter?
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
Yes, that and my "projects" that I've worked on separately xP The majority were BB verses, though. In fact, the majority of verses I have memorized on my account are BB verses, soooo...=P
for
Elizabeth C

Prayed
AMEN!
I'm assuming lots of them were BB verses? Or am I mistaken? :P
for

@Grace, how many did you have current before you left? :P
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Sarah, that's fine xP I totally understand :D I don't actually want to know how old you are, but if you are under 18, then you might be interested in Bible Bee (biblebee.org) :P But if you're over 18, then forget I ever said anything =P
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Sarah, thanks xD And cool! Piglets are SOOOO cute x)
@Elizabeth, I have about 2076 current (out of 7751...) And that's after reviewing for quite a while yesterday xP
@Elizabeth, I am not really comfortable sharing that information.
Sorry
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Sarah, I realized I didn't know this, but are you over or under 18 (if you don't mind saying)? =P
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
@Grace, I figured xD How many do you have current? :P @Sarah, cool!
@Elizabeth, Thanks!
@Grace, Welcome Back! BTW. sorry for the misunderstanding about the (laughs) Baby warthog. Oh, speaking of pig-like creatures, our pig just had 7 babies, they are black, and about the size of a coke can.
for
~Grace~
I
Prayed
AMEN!
Yeah, I'm actually surprised at how many I still have current. It's less than 1/4, but out of 7751 that's not too bad xP
I know...but I went by dates, not by "the month of March" =P
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
And ya know it's not the end of March xP
for
Elizabeth C
I

I have lots of verses to review too.. I have about 3000 verses on my account and only about 1000 current... But of course you have more :P

How fast do you usually get through a chapter? :D
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
25 minutes is a great amount of time!:P
I spend 25 minutes a day memorizing. Thanks for the advice!
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
Do you have a schedule for how many verses you memorize every day? If you don't, I would definitely recommend making one :P I always make a schedule, as that helps me tremendously xD
for
Elizabeth C
I
Prayed
AMEN!
I don't really have any suggestions besides lots of repetition :D I usually memorize one verse and then the next verse, recite then together, do the next verse, recite them together, and so on :D
I have found it to be very instructive. Thanks for the encouragement!
Do you have any suggestions for faster memorization? Right now I am memorizing the verses individually and then memorizing the chapter.
for
Elizabeth C
I

How are you liking memorizing James?:P
for
Elizabeth C

Awesome, Sarah! Amazing job! High fives for a job well done! :D

@Ra72, they stay that way for at least a couple of weeks, but not all baby warthogs are striped like that. I still think they're cute xD
Yeah, I've wondered myself. Another one of those things that we won't figure out until we get to heaven! x)
@Grace, I looked up some baby warthog pics but only found one that looks like a watermelon (they must not stay that way for long, only the wee babes xD). I know animals won't be a big deal in heaven, but have you ever thought about what we'll do there? Sure, we'll be praising/worshiping God but Scripture seems to indicate we'll have responsibilities too. And if you think of the angels, some are dedicated solely to worship but others go about doing the Lord's bidding. I've told God that in His new creation, I'd love to be a royal horse master, taking care of His royal mounts. Lol! xD
@Sarah, yes my favorite animal is the horse! xD What's yours?

@Sarah, no, I don't live in Africa xP I've never been to Africa, but I like Warthogs anyway xD I live in the U.S. x)
@Elizabeth, those are both really neat animals!
@Grace, That is interesting, I've never really liked hogs myself, but I will admit baby hogs are cute. Do you live in Africa? That is the only place I can think of where warthogs live, in the wild at least.

@Sarah, my favorite animal would be horses or pandas xD

@Sarah, the main component of our farm is cows, and they moo all the time! It would be interesting to know what they were saying xP We have horses too, though xD
My favorite animal is actually the warthog...I know, weird. I once got to bottle-feed a baby warthog, though, and they are REALLY cute! They look like brown watermelons (you should look up some pictures) xD
@Ra72, some people believe that. They don't have souls, though. It would be nice, but I think that once we're with God our animals won't seem so important anymore x)
What are your favorite animals?
@Ra, I bet yours are horses!
We sure enjoy our farm. @Ra, no we do not have horses. It would be cool if animals did talk, I especially wonder what they are saying when the cows are bawling at each other when we are all trying to sleep.
I know animals don't have souls like us, but they definitely have personalities! lol I have a friend who believes we'll meet our pets again in the new creation. I wouldn't mind that! lol
@Sarah, no horses?!? Lol. That's neat though. Do you ever imagine them talking to each other? xD (Like the movie Babe?) :D

@Ra72, great quotes!!! I, too, have to work on not just memorizing but also thinking about what I'm memorizing...and also just sitting down and reading Scripture! I have to be careful not to let memorizing become just memorizing, and the Scripture I'm memorizing become just words.
And yes, I love living on a farm! It's really fun xD

@Ra72, I love those quotes! xD
And another..."In the spiritual realm, the opposite of ignorance is not knowledge but obedience."
Here's a quote I love: "The Bible was written not to satisfy your curiosity but to help you conform to Christ's image. Not to make you a smarter sinner but to make you like the Savior. Not to fill your head with a collection of biblical facts but to transform your life."
Do you guys know who Howard Hendricks is? He has a great book on how to study the Bible called "Living by the Book"
God's really convicted me about that! I've been a good memorizer but have neglected meditation and that's the key to true heart change...or as favorite preacher puts it...meditation turns head knowledge into heart knowledge! :)
As for reading the Bible...it varies. Sometimes I get really into a topic and do extensive study, sometimes I just read a chap and chew on it. I also like to listen to/read sermons on the books/passages I'm memorizing. I try to recite everything I've memorized weekly to keep weeds from growing, but choose one book/passage to do daily for a month to really meditate on it.

@Ra72, cool! @Grace, I usually read one chapter a day, but finishing Genesis-Proverbs by the end of May (I read the books I hadn't read before), so in doing 2 chapters of Job currently, and then doing 3 chapters of Psalm, and then 1 chapter of Proverbs xD I know, I know, I hardly read anything a day, but.. I still need to memorize and review...=D
@Elizabeth, seaweed is cool! I used to eat a lot of spicy nori crackers (they're made of a sunflower seeds mixture spread on nori) Yum! lol
@Grace, that must be awesome living on a farm! I used to be a dedicated equestrian (and owned a pony/horse) before I got too sick. There's something therapeutic & lovely about barns! :)

@Elizabeth, seaweed is NOT awesome xP OK, I guess I can't say that since I've never eaten it, but...xD I do more memorizing/reviewing than actual reading, but I generally read an average of 12 chapters a day. You see, I read an entire book of the Bible about every other day because I like reading books in one sitting, but it averages out to half a book per day. In between I review and memorize xP What about you?
for
Elizabeth C
I

Another question! How many chapters (or books! @Grace) of the Bible do you read per day?=P

for

I

@Ra72, the escargot I tried was very saturated in butter as well...that's pretty much all I could taste xP And I've never intentionally eaten bugs either, but I might someday xD
Yes, I live on a farm, and we have 2 horses =) Our farm is primarily cattle (we have 70+ head currently). If I could have any view in the world...Oh, I'd say the view from an airplane =D @Suzanne, REALLY???? xP
