Bible-Bee Links

Here are some likes to what Erin and I have been using for the Bible-Bee.

Quizlet has been nice for testing.
See what you make on an eight hundred and ten question test.

Scripture Typer is great for memorizing any bible verse that you want.

Now I do recommend these not just for the Bible-Bee but also for and Bible study or Scripture memory that you want.

And here is the link to the Bible-Bee web sight.

Doing the Bible-Bee has been one of the hardest most rewarding things that I've ever done.
I know, -you're probably thinking 'Why's she giving advice to a Bee that she hasn't completed yet?' Well, that answer is easy enough, no matter if I'm one of the top one hundred kids in the nation or not, I've done what most people have never even herd of and at the same time doing things of eternal value.
Though, when Jess told me what I just told you, I pointed out that I felt like I was going to be eternally exhausted.

But I think that if you compete and make it to nationals or not, you've laid up treasures in heaven and done an awesome thing, and personally I think that everyone should do it.

Just a little encouragement, and I'm going to go memorize the last of my 25 passages.

Sorry

Sorry about the little mix up.
It was in fact dad's birthday and not Sarah's. But she's great too, and her birthday's in January.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

 Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Happy 4th of July

The fourth is a great time to remember what the patriots of our country died for and what they new that they were getting for them selves and for us years to come.

Happy Fourth!!!

The Challenger Deep

The ocean floor is just like the dry land only covered with water. There are valleys, mountains, plains and deep trenches.
The deepest point known in the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located in the Marianas Trench in the South Pacifistic Ocean near Guam. (Which is over by China, Australia and Japan. It's a small island.)
The Challenger is 10,911 meters below the surface of the ocean floor. -Not the top of the water. (That's about 35,797.244 feet and that would equal almost 7 miles.)
If you put mount Everest in the Challengver, Everest would be covered by 2 kiolmeters of water. (That's over a mile of water.)
Well, that's about 11 kelometers of water all pressing down at about 1145 tons per square foot.
The first exploration of the Challenger was in January of 1960 by the crew of a sub called the Trieste. They went way down, down to the bottom of the ocean floor. It was pitch black and cold. But in the head lights of the Trieste they saw something go past. Looking closer it turned out to be a flat fish about a foot long. It just proves that GOD made every bit of the earth to be inhabited by living creatures, not excluding the deepest, coldest point in the ocean.

The Pero Currnet

You just thought that the Gulf Stream was big. Well, the Peru Current is several times larger the the Gulf Stream.
The Peru Current is not as fast and not as warm as the Gulf Stream but is 900 meters (560 miles.) wide.
And where the Gulf Stream warms up the colder arias, the Peru Current cools down the coast of south America.
It just goes to show you how much GOD really did plan all this out.

The Gulf Stream

The Gulf Stream is really big and is about 80 kilometers (or 50 miles.) wide and 1000 meters (or 3,048 feet.) deep.
It starts in Florida and heads along the coast of North America for a while before heading on to Europe. After reaching Europe, the Gulf Stream branches out and heads to the Arctic Ocean and Africa.
The Gulf Stream is also responsible for the mild weather in Great Britten.

A common saying in our house: "Oh! Isn't her so adorable!"

Surface Currents

Surface Currents are moved by winds and can be several hundred feet deep.
They move in circular patterns called gyres.

(Jir.- the "i" has a little line "-" over it instead of a dot.)

In the northern Hemisphere the gyres move clockwise and in the southern Hemisphere, they move counter- clockwise.

Ocean Currents

The ocean currents are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
There are three types of currents:
              Ocean Currents
              Waves
      And tides.

Most currents flow under the surface of the water and you can tell them apart from the water that they're going through because of temperature and salinity. 

(Sa-lin-i-ty, is a measure of the quantity of dissolved salts and other solids in a mixture such as sea water.) -From the science dictionary.
