so many verses doing Bible Bee with Brittany.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I would think.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Cheryl:<\/strong>\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t get the references, but as she would quote sometimes I would just look away from the card and I would quote them, too, and check myself with Brittany as she was quoting the words.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s what I would do with Brittany.\u00a0 She\u2019s a pretty independent learner, so she did the source study on her own, and whatnot.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So when you got to the regional competition and there were a couple dozen other students who were there, how long did it take from the time the regional was over until you got word that you had in fact made it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 About one week.\u00a0 On the Bible Bee website they were going to post all of the finalists.\u00a0 They were going to be posted on a certain time, and our family doesn\u2019t have the internet, so we had asked my grandmother to check the website every now and then to see if names were posted yet.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe checked it around the time they were supposed to be posted, and she called us and said that the names were posted.\u00a0 She read all the names of the finalists to us, out loud \u2013 to our family \u2013 and my name wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 So she read the list again, and it still wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 We thought that I didn\u2019t make it to nationals. Then, later on, my grandmother realized that she had been looking at the senior finalists\u2019 names, not the juniors\u2019 so . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Read the wrong . . .\u00a0 She read the wrong list.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Man, was she in serious trouble.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 (laughing)\u00a0 Were you pretty disappointed when she\u2019s reading the list twice and your name\u2019s not on it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I was disappointed.\u00a0 Yes, sir, I was.\u00a0 I had studied really had, and so I was pretty disappointed.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 But she called back that afternoon and said, \u201cWhoops?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 Just about ten or 15 minutes later she realized her mistake.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Alright.\u00a0 So once you got word you\u2019re headed to nationals, and the nationals were in Washington, D.C., but all of a sudden there was more to memorize before you got there, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 For nationals I had to memorize about 700 verses more.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Wow.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 700 more, in addition to . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 In addition to the other 1100.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So here you are, working hard from the end of summer all the way to the first couple of weeks in November.\u00a0 I think it was the second week in November that you came to Washington, D.C.\u00a0 You were having to memorize a lot of Scripture every day.\u00a0 How much time each day were you taking to do Bible memory?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 For the local competition I studied about four or five hours every day, and then for the national competition I studied about six or seven hours a day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Six or seven hours a day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Did you get tired of it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 A little bit.\u00a0 Sometimes I would get a little tired.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I mean you have to take a break, yeah.\u00a0 But six to seven hours a day of studying God\u2019s Word \u2013 that\u2019s pretty cool.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 It was.\u00a0 It was really exciting.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So the whole family, Cheryl, Dan, did you all get in the van to drive up to Washington, D.C.?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 It was an adventure just getting there in the van . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I bet it was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dan:<\/strong>\u00a0 . . . and then, trying to find a place to park.\u00a0 We have a 15-passenger, and it wouldn\u2019t fit in the parking at the hotel.\u00a0 But the hotel was beautiful.\u00a0 It was, I think, two blocks from the White House. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember standing, looking out the window, and I thought that usually it\u2019s a father that brings things to his children, adventures or memories, and I thought, \u201cHere my 13-year-old daughter has brought me to Washington, D.C.\u00a0 I\u2019m here because of her accomplishment.\u201d\u00a0 It was very humbling and it was very touching to me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 That\u2019s cool.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dan:<\/strong>\u00a0 It was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, I wasn\u2019t a contestant, but when Bob and I walked in there, it was a wow.\u00a0 The room was filled with all the contestants, which was I guess about 100 in each age group, made the nationals, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So 300 students, and all their families.\u00a0 Over a thousand

(laughing)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Tell me about gathering with the other students your age.\u00a0 You got together in Mr. Rainey\u2019s group, and what did you have to do?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, that was the semi-final challenge.\u00a0 The top 20 contestants in every age category from the top 100 \u2013 that part of the competition was quoting Scripture and answering Bible knowledge questions.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And you sailed through that pretty well, didn\u2019t you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think so.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You think so, because you were one of the seven finalists to come out of the semi-final round.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 And you had judges, of course, that were there that were rendering a judgment as to whether or not you had said it perfectly or answered the question with the right answer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And then went to the final round, which \u2013 that put you face to face with Mr. Lepine.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 (laughing)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So there are seven from the elementary age, seven from the junior, and seven from the senior high, and at that point, you\u2019re no longer quoting a couple of verses at a time.\u00a0 You\u2019re quoting extended passages of Scripture.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember being back in the audience just marveling.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure you were, as parents, too, listening to these young people, again, all the way from seven, eight years of age all the way to 18, just quoting hundreds, hundreds of passages of Scripture.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFlawlessly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And in that final round, if I remember right, there was just one hiccup, and it came with you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think so.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Brittany walked up to the microphone, and it was my job to tell her what verse or passage she needed to recite.\u00a0 I remember looking up at Brittany.\u00a0 I said, \u201cAre you ready to go?\u201d and she said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cOkay, recite Romans one, verses 21 through 32.\u201d\u00a0 And what did you think when I said that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, now wait a second.\u00a0 I\u2019m in the back, and I\u2019m watching her up front, and I\u2019m going, \u201cShe\u2019s either completely blanked out . . .\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201c. . . or something is going on here,\u201d because she\u2019s looking at the floor, she\u2019s kind of looking and has a puzzled look on her face, and there was a reason for that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 Romans 1:21- 32 wasn\u2019t a passage that the juniors were given to memorize, and so I was pretty confused.\u00a0 I was trying to think of another passage in Romans that possibly that passage was supposed to be.\u00a0 I was just confused.\u00a0 So I asked Mr. Lepine if maybe the passage was Romans 3:20-31.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And I looked down at the sheet of paper that\u2019s there in front of me, and I said, \u201cNo, it\u2019s Romans 1, beginning at verse 21.\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just start at verse 21 and we\u2019ll see how far you can get?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, the problem was she hadn\u2019t memorized any of it, because it wasn\u2019t on the assignment.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 At that point there were some people in the audience, parents, who knew what had been memorized and what hadn\u2019t, and they started calling out, \u201cThat\u2019s not on the list.\u201d\u00a0 Of course, I\u2019m just the pretty voice.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know any better.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You\u2019re just doing what you\u2019ve been told to do.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So I said, \u201cWe\u2019re going to take a minute and confer with the judges.\u201d\u00a0 We conferred with the judges, and sure enough, that was not on the list, and I think at that point we just gave you a pass and you went and sat down.\u00a0 Is that right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 I got to sit down for a couple minutes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And then a couple minutes later we had you come back up, and this time we asked you to recite Psalm 34.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Now, you had memorized Psalm 34, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 I had memorized all of the passages.\u00a0 That one I felt pretty confident in.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And as I remember, you were just plowing along, doing great, and what happened?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, I got to verse 17, and I quoted that verse, and then I just couldn\u2019t remember the next verse, and that had never really happened to me except for a couple times when I was quoting to my Mom.\u00a0 I had never really blanked out.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo I totally blanked out, and I couldn\u2019t remember the next verse for anything.\u00a0 And so I just tried to repeat in my mind the verses I had just quoted and I couldn\u2019t remember.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Cheryl, do you remember sitting in the audience?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Cheryl:<\/strong>\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 I do remember that very well, and as a matter of fact, when she got Psalm 34 \u2013 because it was all kind of confusing to us, because when she did get the passage that you gave her originally in Romans, I knew something was wrong.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI could tell on her face something\u2019s wrong, but I really didn\u2019t know what it was, because I didn\u2019t know all the passages she had memorized, and I didn\u2019t know if it was one of them or not.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was funny, because I told my husband, \u201cDan, do something.\u00a0 If she\u2019s saying it\u2019s wrong, it\u2019s wrong.\u00a0 She knows those verses.\u201d\u00a0 And he said, \u201cWhat am I going to do?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Get your gun and your badge.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Get your badge and arrest

to do?\u201d and then about that time other people in the audience knew that it was wrong.\u00a0 But when she got Psalm 34, I told him, \u201cOh, good.\u00a0 She knows this one.\u201d\u00a0 I knew that she knew all of them, but it was one she had known for a while, and it was one that she was just so confident in.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs a matter of fact, with all the other passages she was given, she always paused first, because I had told her, \u201cNow when they give you the passage, don\u2019t just immediately start.\u00a0 Just for a second, get your footing, make sure you\u2019re going to quote the right one.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWith that one she was so confident she just went forward.\u00a0 22 verses long, and she got through all 17 word-perfect before she blanked out.\u00a0 But I thought, \u201cOh, this is good.\u00a0 She\u2019ll be glad to get that one.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 When

really did.\u00a0 I did, because I knew she knew it.\u00a0 I knew she knew it.\u00a0 But, you know, God orchestrates things the way we don\u2019t understand sometimes.\u00a0 But it was hard for me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Brittany, just to make up for it, I\u2019m going to read verse 16 and 17, and then I want you to take the rest of it to the barn,

book.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I can\u2019t think of a more appropriate verse to remind all of us \u2013 you may not participate in the National Bible Bee \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 -- but Scripture memory is a good and healthy discipline for every one of us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Here\u2019s another great illustration of this.\u00a0 Your mom gave you a verse before you went into competition.\u00a0 I know you remember that verse.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Go ahead and quote it for our audience.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 That was Psalm 138, verse 8:\u00a0 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.\u00a0 Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever.\u00a0 Forsake not the works of thine own hands.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, as I sat in the back listening to these young people quote reams of verses, I just couldn\u2019t help but think what an edge they\u2019re going to have for the rest of their lives because they\u2019ve committed these verses to memory.\u00a0 Just the few verses that I committed to memory and have committed to memory over my lifetime, those pop into my head at the most interesting times.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod does use his Word to guide us, convict us, to teach us, instruct us, and to comfort us.\u00a0 You have to believe that other young men and women like Brittany are going to find themselves 30, 40, 50 years from now remembering Scripture at key points in their lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And everything is geared up now for the 2011 Bible Bee.\u00a0 Are you going to be a contestant in the 2011 Bee?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 I\u2019m definitely going to compete.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Do you think you\u2019ll do 2012, 2013, or \u2013 I guess once you win, are you knocked out?\u00a0 Can you keep competing even if you win one year?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 You can compete, I think, even if you win first place.\u00a0 You can keep on competing until you\u2019re too old.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So, let\u2019s see.\u00a0 You\u2019re fifteen;\u00a0 you\u2019ve got this year \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Are you going for the big $100,000 first prize this year?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Are you a junior or senior this year?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019ll be a senior this year.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 First

in the elementary division, in the junior division, or with Brittany in the senior division.\u00a0 You can find out more about this year\u2019s Bible Bee when you go to FamilyLifeToday.com and click on the link to the Bible Bee.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tRegistration is underway right now, and the first round competition is going to take place at the beginning of the fall.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s in September.\u00a0 All the details are online.\u00a0 Go to FamilyLifeToday.com, click on the link for the Bible Bee, and while you\u2019re there, get a copy of the book that Brittany wrote.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe wrote a book telling about her experience at the Bible Bee.\u00a0 It\u2019s called <em>A Trophy in My Heart<\/em>, and we\u2019ve got copies of it in our FamilyLife Today Resource Center.\u00a0 Get a copy when you go to FamilyLifeToday.com; you can order a copy from us online.\u00a0 Or call 1-800-\u201cF\u201d as in Family, \u201cL\u201d as in Life, and then the word \u201cToday.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe want to ask you to think about something here during the month of May that would really help us out.\u00a0 We\u2019ve had some friends of the ministry who came to us, and they said, \u201cWe know that during the summer FamilyLife, like a lot of ministries, sees a decline in donations.\u00a0 So we thought we would help you here in May, be like a squirrel and gather up some acorns to help you get through the summer. \u201c\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cSo what we\u2019re going to do is we\u2019re going to make a matching gift available to you, $750,000 in matching gift money that\u2019s available if your <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners will call and make a donation.\u00a0 If they make a donation we\u2019ll match it, up to a total of $750,000.\u201d\u00a0 <br>\u00a0\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, that\u2019s great news for us, but you need to know, that\u2019s the largest matching gift that has been given to us outside of the month of December.\u00a0 Honestly, for us to take full advantage of it, we need as many listeners as possible to do whatever you can do.\u00a0 Call and make a $10 or a $20 or a $50 or a $100 or a $200 or a $500 or a $1000 donation, whatever you can do.\u00a0\u00a0 If everybody will do what they can do, I think we can take full advantage of that matching gift opportunity.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re asking you today, go online at FamilyLifeToday.com or pick up a phone and call 1-800-FLTODAY, make a donation; when you do your donation is going to be matched dollar for dollar until we get to that total of $750,000.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe have a thermometer on the website if you want to check that out and see what our progress looks like.\u00a0 We\u2019ll keep that updated throughout the week, so go online at FamilyLifeToday.com for more information.\u00a0 Let me just say thanks in advance for whatever you are able to do to help us take advantage of this matching gift, and to help support <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\u00a0 We appreciate it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, tomorrow we want to encourage you to be with us when we talk with a mom and her daughter about some of the really hard things that God often asks women to do.\u00a0 Kathy Reimer and her daughter, Lisa Whittle join us tomorrow.\u00a0 I hope you can be back as well to hear about that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, and our entire broadcast production team.\u00a0 On behalf of our host, Dennis Rainey, I'm Bob Lepine.\u00a0 We will see you back next time for another edition of <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> is a

a reason for that: first prize for the elementary age children was $25,000, $50,000 for Brittany\u2019s age group, and then the senior high was $100,000 for first prize.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo I mean this is serious competition.\u00a0 As you looked over the materials though, what hit you about what Brittany was going to need to do to be able to

with a Ziploc baggie full of verses, and she would just memorize them on her own.\u00a0 I really wasn\u2019t very involved for about the first month, other than she would just come to me every once in a while and say, \u201cWould you please quiz me on my verses?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI would just go through cards with her.\u00a0 It was actually pretty wonderful, because I memorized so many verses doing Bible Bee with Brittany.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I would think.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Cheryl:<\/strong>\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t get the references, but as she would quote sometimes I would just look away from the card and I would quote them, too, and check myself with Brittany as she was quoting the words.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s what I would do with Brittany.\u00a0 She\u2019s a pretty independent learner, so she did the source study on her own, and whatnot.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So when you got to the regional competition and there were a couple dozen other students who were there, how long did it take from the time the regional was over until you got word that you had in fact made it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 About one week.\u00a0 On the Bible Bee website they were going to post all of the finalists.\u00a0 They were going to be posted on a certain time, and our family doesn\u2019t have the internet, so we had asked my grandmother to check the website every now and then to see if names were posted yet.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe checked it around the time they were supposed to be posted, and she called us and said that the names were posted.\u00a0 She read all the names of the finalists to us, out loud \u2013 to our family \u2013 and my name wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 So she read the list again, and it still wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 We thought that I didn\u2019t make it to nationals. Then, later on, my grandmother realized that she had been looking at the senior finalists\u2019 names, not the juniors\u2019 so . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Read the wrong . . .\u00a0 She read the wrong list.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Man, was she in serious trouble.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 (laughing)\u00a0 Were you pretty disappointed when she\u2019s reading the list twice and your name\u2019s not on it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I was disappointed.\u00a0 Yes, sir, I was.\u00a0 I had studied really had, and so I was pretty disappointed.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 But she called back that afternoon and said, \u201cWhoops?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 Just about ten or 15 minutes later she realized her mistake.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Alright.\u00a0 So once you got word you\u2019re headed to nationals, and the nationals were in Washington, D.C., but all of a sudden there was more to memorize before you got there, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 For nationals I had to memorize about 700 verses more.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Wow.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 700 more, in addition to . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 In addition to the other 1100.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So here you are, working hard from the end of summer all the way to the first couple of weeks in November.\u00a0 I think it was the second week in November that you came to Washington, D.C.\u00a0 You were having to memorize a lot of Scripture every day.\u00a0 How much time each day were you taking to do Bible memory?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 For the local competition I studied about four or five hours every day, and then for the national competition I studied about six or seven hours a day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Six or seven hours a day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Did you get tired of it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 A little bit.\u00a0 Sometimes I would get a little tired.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I mean you have to take a break, yeah.\u00a0 But six to seven hours a day of studying God\u2019s Word \u2013 that\u2019s pretty cool.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 It was.\u00a0 It was really exciting.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So the whole family, Cheryl, Dan, did you all get in the van to drive up to Washington, D.C.?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 It was an adventure just getting there in the van . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I bet it was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dan:<\/strong>\u00a0 . . . and then, trying to find a place to park.\u00a0 We have a 15-passenger, and it wouldn\u2019t fit in the parking at the hotel.\u00a0 But the hotel was beautiful.\u00a0 It was, I think, two blocks from the White House. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember standing, looking out the window, and I thought that usually it\u2019s a father that brings things to his children, adventures or memories, and I thought, \u201cHere my 13-year-old daughter has brought me to Washington, D.C.\u00a0 I\u2019m here because of her accomplishment.\u201d\u00a0 It was very humbling and it was very touching to me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 That\u2019s cool.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dan:<\/strong>\u00a0 It was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, I wasn\u2019t a contestant, but when Bob and I walked in there, it was a wow.\u00a0 The room was filled with all the contestants, which was I guess about 100 in each age group, made the nationals, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So 300 students, and all their families.\u00a0 Over a thousand

(laughing)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Tell me about gathering with the other students your age.\u00a0 You got together in Mr. Rainey\u2019s group, and what did you have to do?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, that was the semi-final challenge.\u00a0 The top 20 contestants in every age category from the top 100 \u2013 that part of the competition was quoting Scripture and answering Bible knowledge questions.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And you sailed through that pretty well, didn\u2019t you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think so.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You think so, because you were one of the seven finalists to come out of the semi-final round.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 And you had judges, of course, that were there that were rendering a judgment as to whether or not you had said it perfectly or answered the question with the right answer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And then went to the final round, which \u2013 that put you face to face with Mr. Lepine.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 (laughing)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So there are seven from the elementary age, seven from the junior, and seven from the senior high, and at that point, you\u2019re no longer quoting a couple of verses at a time.\u00a0 You\u2019re quoting extended passages of Scripture.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember being back in the audience just marveling.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure you were, as parents, too, listening to these young people, again, all the way from seven, eight years of age all the way to 18, just quoting hundreds, hundreds of passages of Scripture.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFlawlessly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And in that final round, if I remember right, there was just one hiccup, and it came with you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think so.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Brittany walked up to the microphone, and it was my job to tell her what verse or passage she needed to recite.\u00a0 I remember looking up at Brittany.\u00a0 I said, \u201cAre you ready to go?\u201d and she said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cOkay, recite Romans one, verses 21 through 32.\u201d\u00a0 And what did you think when I said that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, now wait a second.\u00a0 I\u2019m in the back, and I\u2019m watching her up front, and I\u2019m going, \u201cShe\u2019s either completely blanked out . . .\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201c. . . or something is going on here,\u201d because she\u2019s looking at the floor, she\u2019s kind of looking and has a puzzled look on her face, and there was a reason for that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 Romans 1:21- 32 wasn\u2019t a passage that the juniors were given to memorize, and so I was pretty confused.\u00a0 I was trying to think of another passage in Romans that possibly that passage was supposed to be.\u00a0 I was just confused.\u00a0 So I asked Mr. Lepine if maybe the passage was Romans 3:20-31.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And I looked down at the sheet of paper that\u2019s there in front of me, and I said, \u201cNo, it\u2019s Romans 1, beginning at verse 21.\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just start at verse 21 and we\u2019ll see how far you can get?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, the problem was she hadn\u2019t memorized any of it, because it wasn\u2019t on the assignment.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 At that point there were some people in the audience, parents, who knew what had been memorized and what hadn\u2019t, and they started calling out, \u201cThat\u2019s not on the list.\u201d\u00a0 Of course, I\u2019m just the pretty voice.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know any better.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You\u2019re just doing what you\u2019ve been told to do.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So I said, \u201cWe\u2019re going to take a minute and confer with the judges.\u201d\u00a0 We conferred with the judges, and sure enough, that was not on the list, and I think at that point we just gave you a pass and you went and sat down.\u00a0 Is that right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 I got to sit down for a couple minutes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And then a couple minutes later we had you come back up, and this time we asked you to recite Psalm 34.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Now, you had memorized Psalm 34, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 I had memorized all of the passages.\u00a0 That one I felt pretty confident in.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And as I remember, you were just plowing along, doing great, and what happened?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, I got to verse 17, and I quoted that verse, and then I just couldn\u2019t remember the next verse, and that had never really happened to me except for a couple times when I was quoting to my Mom.\u00a0 I had never really blanked out.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo I totally blanked out, and I couldn\u2019t remember the next verse for anything.\u00a0 And so I just tried to repeat in my mind the verses I had just quoted and I couldn\u2019t remember.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Cheryl, do you remember sitting in the audience?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Cheryl:<\/strong>\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 I do remember that very well, and as a matter of fact, when she got Psalm 34 \u2013 because it was all kind of confusing to us, because when she did get the passage that you gave her originally in Romans, I knew something was wrong.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI could tell on her face something\u2019s wrong, but I really didn\u2019t know what it was, because I didn\u2019t know all the passages she had memorized, and I didn\u2019t know if it was one of them or not.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was funny, because I told my husband, \u201cDan, do something.\u00a0 If she\u2019s saying it\u2019s wrong, it\u2019s wrong.\u00a0 She knows those verses.\u201d\u00a0 And he said, \u201cWhat am I going to do?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Get your gun and your badge.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Get your badge and arrest

to do?\u201d and then about that time other people in the audience knew that it was wrong.\u00a0 But when she got Psalm 34, I told him, \u201cOh, good.\u00a0 She knows this one.\u201d\u00a0 I knew that she knew all of them, but it was one she had known for a while, and it was one that she was just so confident in.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs a matter of fact, with all the other passages she was given, she always paused first, because I had told her, \u201cNow when they give you the passage, don\u2019t just immediately start.\u00a0 Just for a second, get your footing, make sure you\u2019re going to quote the right one.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWith that one she was so confident she just went forward.\u00a0 22 verses long, and she got through all 17 word-perfect before she blanked out.\u00a0 But I thought, \u201cOh, this is good.\u00a0 She\u2019ll be glad to get that one.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 When

really did.\u00a0 I did, because I knew she knew it.\u00a0 I knew she knew it.\u00a0 But, you know, God orchestrates things the way we don\u2019t understand sometimes.\u00a0 But it was hard for me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Brittany, just to make up for it, I\u2019m going to read verse 16 and 17, and then I want you to take the rest of it to the barn,

remind all of us \u2013 you may not participate in the National Bible Bee \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 -- but Scripture memory is a good and healthy discipline for every one of us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Here\u2019s another great illustration of this.\u00a0 Your mom gave you a verse before you went into competition.\u00a0 I know you

audience.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 That was Psalm 138, verse 8:\u00a0 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.\u00a0 Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever.\u00a0 Forsake not the works of thine own hands.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, as I sat in the back listening to these young people quote reams of verses, I just couldn\u2019t help but think what an edge they\u2019re going to have for the rest of their lives because they\u2019ve committed these verses to memory.\u00a0 Just the few verses that I committed to memory and have committed to memory over my lifetime, those pop into my head at the most interesting times.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod does use his Word to guide us, convict us, to teach us, instruct us, and to comfort us.\u00a0 You have to believe that other young men and women like Brittany are going to find themselves 30, 40, 50 years from now remembering Scripture at key points in their lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And everything is geared up now for the 2011 Bible Bee.\u00a0 Are you going to be a contestant in

year?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Brittany:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 You can compete, I think, even if you win first place.\u00a0 You can keep on competing until you\u2019re too
