[Gathnet] Whew it is over...

[am]

Just a note to fill people in.  The Bible Bee went well.  Rachel was a 
trooper - she had contracted a return cold  a couple days before and 
ended up with laryngitis the day she needed to recite 30 passages in 10 
minutes..... it slowed her down a little.   She was actually happy not 
to have to do the semifinals - big stage, bright lights, in front of 
hundreds of people trying to recite randomly selected long passages 
without any mistakes.... not easy.  They had several nice events on the 
side and lots of encouragement for them, but I could see the relief set 
in after the semifinal announcement.  We also borrowed Anna from Wheaton 
for as much of the weekend as she could manage so everyone had a chance 
to relax and celebrate.  Lots of interesting young people and families 
even one of Anna's friends from Wheaton there as a sibling also.
