DITL: First-Year BB Junior

Today I woke up at 7:09 A.M. and got dressed, then I went down stairs where Joshua and Hannah were reciting their stylishly long Senior passages.

I ate breakfast, which was leftover waffles from dinner on Sunday night, and did my chore, which today was unloading at least 30 dishes from our drying rack. Then I went out and rode my newly purchased bike around the yard for about 30 minutes before I decided to go inside and do some BB.

I read a book (I wasn't supposed to) after BB, then after 10 minutes Mom said to start memory and review. I reviewed my 50 plus passages and went to memorize outside; after about 1 hour Mom told me to come in because apparently I wasn’t memorizing.

I went upstairs to my room and recited for Jer for 45 minutes, and then I listened to him recite for another 45 minutes.

I went down and ate lunch, which today was PB&J sandwiches and potato chips, then I did my chore, which was packing up the lunch food and wiping the counters that were VERY messy.

After lunch, I went on a bike ride with Jer (in which eventful things happened) and I came in and sat around for 5 minutes and then Mom called us for memorization. I recited my passages which I was memorizing.

Next, I settled an argument about turtles at the pond where we go fishing, by showing my little brother Gabe a picture of his fabled “curve-nose turtle” (which is not real by the way).

Then I started to type my DITL ~ Hope you enjoy!

    That meme is perfectly placed. XD Also, I wonder what those "eventful things" were...

Everything We Did to Prepare for NBCC 2025

Each year, as we begin our journey of studying for the National Bible Bee Competition, I try to reach back to the recesses of my brain to remember what we did *last* year. There are, of course, things that we do every year, but things are always changing and I find that I am constantly making adjustments. Also, getting started with study materials is daunting, even if you have been doing it for several years. So, in the name of posterity and as a help to others (and my future self), I decided to document the study materials that we actually used this year. My preparation focuses on materials for the Study Passage (useful for everyone) and all things related to Primaries. Our Junior kids are often somewhere in between independence and needing some support, so I did have some Junior-specific materials this year. However, the Seniors are on their own! Mom's BB Notebooks. :) Planning Gathering study materials for NBBC is a big task, and like all big tasks, planning is key. I usually st...

Books and Resources to Study Ephesians UPDATED

  I don't know about you, but I am excited to be diving into the Book of Ephesians this Bible Bee season! Sometimes it can be hard to find good resources, so I wanted to put together a list of study resources and books that have helped us immensely over the years. This post DOES NOT contain any affiliate links .  Background Study and Maps For some wonderful background information, check out The Bible Journey. We have used this many times over the years and have really enjoyed it! Read about historical background, view photos of the locations you are researching, and check out their maps. Edited to add: We love the Drive Thru History series. Acts to Revelation is perfect for studying Ephesians. It is also currently streaming on Amazon . A few years ago I purchased some large Bible wall maps. This set is similar and is a smaller size, making it a bit easier to find space to hang them. Commentaries and Bible Study Notes Edited to Add: Thru the Bible: Ephesians by J. Vernon Mc...

All About Cross-References, Part 2

Continued on from here .  What about context? Context is the key to interpreting Scripture.  The list below may seem overwhelming, but it is really just a list of questions that you can ask about a passage of Scripture to help you understand its meaning in its literary, historical, geographical, and cultural context. Not every questions applies to every passage. The best place to begin is by asking yourself, "What information is not provided in the passage that is necessary for me to understand what is being said/what is happening?" Here are some considerations as you get started. When looking at the context of cross-references, it is important to note the following: Literary Style - What type of writing is the passage?  Then ask some of the questions listed under each style.  You do not need to ask all of the questions.  In fact, some passages will not have answers to all of them.  For descriptions of the styles look here . Epistle Who is writing? Who i...
