First off, before I go into this, I need to explain it. I am part of something called Teen Bible Quiz (TBQ). Basically we memorize portions of the Bible and quiz over them Jeopardy-style (except we are on teams of 3). In order to go to the National Tournament (the location is different every year, this year it is in Greenbay, Wisconsin) we have to have the whole portion memorized, which is no small feat. This year’s portion consisted of Galations, Ephesians, Phillipians, Colossians, and Philemon (total of 21 chapters, 32 pages, and ~600 verses).

This morning I finished memorizing! I am the 5th one to finish at our church. (one of the others was a coach, so that would make me 4th). If that sounds bad, there are over 30 other kids who haven’t finished yet. I’m so excited because this means I will get to go to the National Tournament in Wisconsin (even if my team doesn’t make it, I still get to go because I have the whole thing finished).

Hopefully the rest of my team will make it. They should though, one person has 2 chapters left (we have three weeks left before the deadline), and the other has three (which should be down to one by the end of this week, they are supposed to quote Cols. 2 & 3 before Friday).

I can’t wait!
