Proud Mama!

Lionel is on the quiz team at our church. This is his first year and he quickly found out how challenging it is to compete and do well. They are currently studying 5 books of the Bible in the New Testament: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon. They finished the first book already and he did quite well. The actual quizzing part of it is hard because you have to be one of the first to jump off your chair to get a chance to answer the question. That's the part that Lionel is having a hard time with.

Well, tonight at practice, they gave the team a written quiz to see how much they truly know, and Lionel was one of the top scorers. I was so proud to hear how well he did!!! He has been studying twice a day for it, and obviously its paid off. The best part?? He's learning the Bible!!! If he doesn't get off his chair quick enough to answer lots of questions it's OK...he's still getting so much out of it from studying God's Word, and that means he's a winner in my eyes!!

Here he is at one of the quiz meets getting in some last minute studying.
