Bible Bee

I met one of my new neighbors beside the new farm.  Becky is the mother of six children she is home schooling like our neighbors and one of our children does.  I explained who I was and what I hoped to do with our shared property line in the future.  You never know how that is going to turn out but this one started good.

We walked along our fence line and shared how we would like most of those trees cut out.  I told her that bulldozing the line isn't in the budget but it turned out she has a 16 year old son who is learning to cut wood and they have a new wood stove.  I asked her about cut that fence row on the halves and she thought that would be good for both of us.  We have more trees than me and 100 people could burn in a lifetime with 30 acres of overgrown trees.

She mentioned they would be getting another boy this year through the "Bible Bee."  I had never heard of the Bible Bee but it is like a spelling be but instead you memorize Bible verses.

"What is the Bible Bee? The Bible Bee helps families to establish a life-long pattern of discipleship in God’s Word. All of the materials and events are designed to be enjoyable and family-centered as they encourage, recognize, and reward diligence in Bible study, Scripture memorization and prayer.

The National Bible Bee begins June 1st as contestants learn to inductively study a designated book of the Bible through the Bible Bee’s exclusive “Sword Studies” and memorize Scripture with the help of their Bible Memory cards. Local Hosts provide encouragement, support and family activities for socializing and studying.

At the end of August, contestant families gather for the Local Contest, a time of demonstrating diligence, proclaiming God’s Word and celebrating together in Christ. The competition challenges both Bible Memory and Bible Knowledge through Oral and Written Test rounds. The 300 top-scoring contestants from around the nation are then invited to compete in the National Competition which is held in the fall. Winners at Nationals take home $260,000 in cash prizes as well as other awards."

It will be interesting to see how this works out.  Thanks to our new neighbor, something tells me we are going to learn more about people through the Bible Bee!

What is your favorite verse?  I think I have a different one each time I am exposed to it.

  1. Good luck to the kids for memorizing the whole "begat" thing from Adam and Eve to Barack and Michelle... ;)

    I watched a couple of extraordinary documentaries on spelling bees, but had never heard of the Bible Bee either. What book are they working on this year? I suppose they avoid the ones with adult themes, it wouldn't do to have kids say: Onanism, O N A N I S M, onanism.
    Sorry, bad joke, I know...
    Besides, Bible scholars said that the psychiatrists who made up the word from old man Onan misinterpreted what Genesis said he did.

  2. By the way, that Bible post reminded me of one of the first European rock albums (if not the first) from 1971, with the song The Four Horsemen from Aphrodite's Child: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FATe8MpEpO4?t=5m53s (restart at 5'53 if it starts later, YT seems to mess up the times)

    That band was the first one Demis Roussos (from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kunCUXymPu4 fame) and Vangelis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYJzcUvS_NU) belong to before they split and Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou got his new name: Vangelis.

  3. Better watch, Ed; you have three spams out of four. Getting rid of the anonymous option would have saved you two of them. Never heard of a Bible Bee, but it sounds like a good idea. Beautiful little chapel!

  4. Wow, that Bible Bee sounds great! Today, my favorite verse is from Job 1:21 "...Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

  5. Gorges, how do I get rid of the anonymous option again? I will try to take the time to figure it out but am time limited.

    Catholic mom, there is a neat place coming up at auction next door. Would make you a fine place to live in the middle of nowhere! You know I am kidding there, Martinsville has been a great place for us to live.

    Funny you bring that up, Vince Wertman posted that verse on my facebook last week after he met some new farmers in Kentucky and I asked him if he were naked. LOL

    I was listening to Matthew 16 and John 20 last night on Coming Home on EWTN, it was great.

    1. Yes..our martinsville house deal is not coming together due to realtor incompetency. We are not done yet though... LOL about Job..I guess Chimel will like the verse too, but that may be a personal problem.(haha)

    2. I just got rid of the Anonymous option - the SPAM was getting out of hand.
      It's easy.
      Go to your blogger dashboard, and select "Settings" from the drop down menu.
      Next, select "Posts and Comments"
      Under "Who can comment" just select "Registered Users" (Anonymous will automatically un-select).
      Hit the "Save Settings" button in the upper right hand corner.

      Hey where is the place for auction? Do you have an address? I am interested.

  6. I forgot to add to Chimel, I am sure I will find out more about the Bible Bee this year. I don't even know how the student exchange works that brings that child to Martinsville.

    That pretty little chapel was really in the middle of nowhere the day David and Glenys took us to the far out sheep station towards Mt. Hut on the souoth island of New Zealand.

    One of our group wanted to look for their family name in that cemetery. It was an early settlement when white man came to New Zealand 150 years ago or so.

  7. Haha, what's with all the Biblical nakedness, guys? And it's not just in Job:
    When I was a kid, I had a wall poster in my bedroom that was a reproduction of a Renaissance world map, with Terra Incognita and dragons in the sea. At each corner was a verse from Matthew 25.36 and a drawing, there was one for "I was naked, and you clothed me".
