So just got back from the whole Bible Bowl trip to Johnson Bible College and Atlanta, GA.

Let me take this time to remind myself and what few readers I have that I absolutely hate the Bible Bowl website. Its ugly (don’t even ask me about the new Bible Bowl logo) and it constantly times out because of crappy programming. It frustrates me that I was going on there to get a link to the Johnson Tournament and Nationals so that I could reference it here for your enjoyment…but I can’t even get that!

Ok…end of tirade. I guess I will just tell you about my team and you will have to just accept that I am telling the truth.

At Johnson Bible College the team that I helped sponsor and quizmaster for was from Townesouth / Kernersville (one of two teams at JBC and the only team at Nationals from North Carolina). They ended up placing 3rd in the Round Robin, and top 12 in the Double Elimination. Afterwards, we drove down to Atlanta and stayed in the Marriot Marquis (which by the way did not have free wi-fi, no fridge or microwave…but it was a very tall building with lovely room service by Zozima). Nationals begins with a test, which one of our players placed 5th on, and then the first couple days are full of Round Robin Pod competition, which they placed 3rd in. Then, the last two days are full of intense Double Elimination. We were seeded pretty high, so ultimately, we ended up with 3rd place (again) which put us at 3rd in the Nation! Congratulations guys!

But other than competition, we did a few other things. I was able to check out Johnson’s Media Department, which has more equipment and better facilities than Milligan. It was pretty cool to see. In Atlanta, we went to the Underground and got our hair cut…so now I am short and spikey.

So now I am back home after an intense 10 days. It was fun, but I am glad I am back home.

I’ll post some more topical posts soon.
