Day 178.  This picture is from Saturday.  We took the bible quiz teams to a meet.  It was a good day and the teams did an awesome job.  Maggie was so psyched because the team she is helping coach went undefeated.  Dugan and a friend spent their lunch time setting up the tables and chairs in all six rooms, so he was tired.  Then he had to turn around and keep score in one of the rooms.  He did such a great job.  These kids have memorized more scripture than most adults know.  It's not just the scripture but the references too.  They also have learned doctrines and truths that have helped them in other areas of their lives.  Dugan and Maggie are smart kids anyway, but I believe that all of the studying and memorizing that they done through JBQ has helped them in school as well.  Every time we get a report card their grades just blow us away.  When the meet was over Dugan went to work loading up the tables and chairs, and hauled them back to the storage room.  I love that I didn't have to beg the kids to work hard, they just did it.  Wouldn't it be great if more people would work hard and stop waiting for someone else to do it.  The bible does have a lot to say about being lazy and not working, and it's not good.  I like to eat so I will keep working, and teaching my kids to work also.
