Competition begins at 6 tonight and concludes at noon Saturday. Julia, like the other contestants, signed up for Bible drill classes in September with her mom, Lynn King, serving along with Susie Wright as a coach at First Baptist. The contest material is provided, and the contestants must memorize much of it. It takes work. Children have so many activities to choose from they might drop Bible drill if it weren't fun, she said.
King knows from experience the value of memorizing scriptures.
The three competitors who place the highest this weekend are eligible to go, said Nelda Williams with the Baptist General Convention of Texas office in Dallas. Julia King, like the other competitors, is looking forward to the competition Saturday and hoping the same thing doesn' t happen to her this time that occurred at the last level. However, even if that happens, forgiveness will be abundant. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved. Site users are subject to our User Agreement .
