Subject: West Morris St quizzers To: finals@biblequizzer.com Hey you guys, Hope you having a fantastic week. I know there is lots of good quizzing. New friends. Old friends. Good devotions. Fun activities. You've learned so much this year about the bible, about God and about yourself. He is a GREAT GOD! Go! Go! WeMo! Proud of you! Candi
Carol and Steve... GREAT job in the individuals. Carol, I knew you would do well. Steve, you did terrific. Wish I was there! You are probably quizzing even as I type this. I do miss this week with you guys. Stephen and Hudson are doing great too (if I read the page right.) I haven't searched for the Young Teens yet. Have a great night, enjoy the banquet. Glad it is not scorching hot like last time in NY. Again.. wish I was there with you. Maybe next year. Best Blessings... Carla Safie
Hi Hannah, I hope you're having a good time at Nationals. I miss it, but looking at your stats, I'm reminded how stressful it is. I'm praying for you and I'll see you in the fall. Love, Allison from Lapeer
Hey Hannah, Amy, and Dixie! I hear you had a good day yesterday. PTL! I am praying that you will have good recall of all you've studied. Amy, I'm so glad you stuck with quizzing this year. I know you'll never regret the effort you put into studying Luke this year. It's great you had another opportunity to attend nationals, too. Keep up the good work, ladies, and have a lot of fun while you're at it. Karen from Lapeer (Julianne and Allison's mom)
Subject: The Pierce Family from Bedford July 9,09 Dear Camela, Jim, Anna and Jameson, I am thinking of you all this morning upon the news of Central Christian Church burning last night. We certainly know the feeling of shock and unknowns upon hearing this news. May God be with your congregation and leaders as they take the next steps. You can see pictures of the blaze at bedfordonline.org. Blessings upon your quizzing. Lynn
Subject: Clarkston FMC! Hi everyone! We sure miss being there with you. I tried to look at the stats and couldn’t figure them out. Oh well….I know you are all doing well!! More than anything we hope that you have grown closer to God and to the people you are with. I remember being at Roberts a couple of years ago and I really loved the worship time. I have been thinking about the ice cream in the dining hall a little bit too!! We have been praying for you guys every day and hope you come away from this week excited about quizzing and most of all about being a Christian and getting to learn the Bible in this way. I hear they are talking about putting together a quiz team in Colorado! We need to find out more about that. We love and miss you all— The Lakes - Rachel, Scott, Nathan, Emma, Ben and Lydia

Subject: STL - New Halls Ferry Quizzers From: Bob Markham To: finals@biblequizzer.com Hey! Keep up the hard work. Doin' great so far. Bob, Jill, Matthew
July 7, 2009 Dear Eric and Paul, I just visited the Bible Quiz web site, and enjoyed seeing the pictures of what's happening there at Quiz Finals. And I look forward to seeing more pictures and stats as they become available. This morning medical tests (a treadmill, blood test, and echocardiogram) were run at Mayo Clinic, and I met with my heart doctor in the afternoon. Here's the good news: My heart has returned to normal size (following the surgery in December), and my blood pressure is good. The output of my heart has increased 30 percent in the last three months, and the treadmill indicated that I am experiencing no limitation in performance due to the heart surgery. I so much appreciate your prayers and the prayers of quizzers and coaches across the United States. I am praying that God will bless the ministry of Quiz Finals this week, and be at work in the heart of each participant. Mike (Hopper, former BQ denominational director)
Subject: GO WILMORE!! From: Dave and Cathi Blankenship Hey, Caleb & Sarah! Remember . . . do your best and leave the rest to God. We are praying for you and all the Wilmore quizzers. We're really missing not being there with you this year. But our hearts and thoughts are there. And our prayers will be with you. We know you'll have a good week. God bless you -- we love you! Love, Grandpa & Grandma (Dave and Cathi Blankenship)

From: "C & K Harris" Subject: To Hannah from Dearborn Hi Hannah! I hope you're having a great time at nationals. I miss it... Every time I think, "I wish I was at nationals" I pray for you. That's happened a lot today! I'm praying that you will be able to do your best during round robin and not be exhausted during the elimination rounds. I know I always was. :) Here's a couple of jokes to hopefully cheer you up a bit if it's been a bad day, and to just make you laugh if it hasn't... Q #1 What did Adam and Eve do when they were expelled from the Garden of Eden? A: They raised Cain. Q #2 Who is the smallest man in the Bible? A: Peter. He slept on a watch. Q #3 What man in the Bible spoke when he was a very small baby? A: Job. He cursed the day he was born. You might have heard them before, but I'm hoping you haven't. :) ~Love, Julianne (Lapeer)
