Hi! I competed in the 2009-2011 National Bible. I advanced to Nationals all three years, but haven't advanced to the semi-finals. As I'm a senior this year, I'm not sure if I'll compete again. However, I've decided to read the bible the entire way through before next years registration, for two reasons. First, I've never read it all the way through. Second, should I choose to compete, it'll be great preparation.
So why have I created this blog? First, it's a chance for me to record my notes and impressions in a fun way that'll allow others to comment and provide additional insights. Second, something very important happened at this years Bible Bee. I came to Christ. I'd believed on Him before, but hadn't truly accepted him as my Savior. At the Bee, I chose to stand and proclaim that "Jesus Christ is Lord!!". After this, I thought about my Bible Study plan, and really wanted to find a way to help others know about Christ. As I'd recently discovered blogging, I decided that that would be my primary mode of communication.
The blog title was inspired in part by a song by Kenneth Cope, where it says "praise his name, my God loves broken things". I've had this song stuck in my head, and so decided that that would be a perfect title. Also, we sang many songs of worship and praise to God at the Bee, so I wanted a title that went back to that as well.
So, yeah. On this blog, I will post any notes I've had while reading, especially all of the reasons I've found to praise God, based on my daily reading. Feel free to post comments regarding any insights you've had. However, please make sure all comments are appropriate. If I feel that they are not, they'll be removed.
~Praise His Name!
