Continue living the conquerer's life! "With God, all things are possible." Matt. 19:26 (or do I even need to put a reference?).

It was great to get to know you at the Bee. You did an incredible job at the finals! It was a serious nail biter for us when they called the names of the senior semi-finalists and the top three. Hope to see you in Kansas City for IHOP! Hey Truman: This is Joshua from the Bible Bee. It was great to get to know you at the Bee. You did an incredible job at the finals!

I didn't know you had a blog. This is awesome! But I think you got something backwards. As I remember, it was you who were always encouraging the rest of us on! And even when you lost your voice! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to me, and making the entire experience a fun one for everyone involved. You aren't going to believe this. We drove home from the competition Sunday, and it hit me terrible Monday morning. I was sick for two days straight! I can't imagine what would have happened if it had come just a few days sooner. I would have been out of it for the entire competition. I am sooo grateful the Lord kept us healthy! Any tips on how to keep the memory passages fresh? How do you plan to use them now that the Bible Bee's over? I'd appreciate any ideas you have! P.S. No problem with the photo. (Isn't it kind of funny how different our expressions are? :-) ) God be with you and keep living life to the fullest! Hey Truman! I didn’t know you had a blog. This is awesome!

It was such a blessing to get to know you even a little at Bible Bee! Your love for God was so evident and passionate--it was encouraging to meet those who radiate with Christ! I would say "continue loving God and serving Him" but I know you will. Continue striving every day, even when the days are tough. I'm sure being an intercessory missionary at IHOP will grow you even more! Wow! Isn't God AMAZING? He never gets boring---EVER!!!!!!! Let your live be a pebble, rippling over and over to impact the world. Learn it, Live it, Speak it! Know Him well, and make Him well known. Oh, yeah, hope your voice gets better:) Also, I'll pray for you as you get publicity and attention that pride doesn't try to get a grip on your soul! Use the shield of faith which quenches all the fiery darts (Ephesians 6:10-18) Way to go, Truman! It was such a blessing to get to know you even a little at Bible Bee!

You did such a great job last week. I was impressed with the way you spoke those passages—you didn’t just recite them, you spoke them from within yourself. May you continue your life studying the Word of God! Congratulations, Truman! You did such a great job last week.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of you up on stage stating God's word. (I judge Primary on Thursday and had the pleasure of just being in the moment with all of you on Friday - no kids competing to worry about, this year)! It was truly awesome. I wanted to up and give you some hot tea and some cough drops throughout out the day, but chose to pray that God would see you through. Everyone did so well. I know how hard it is, as I was proud of my son for memorizing 60 or more verses, not nearly what those of you at the Senior and Junior levels recited. May God continue to use you, your knowledge and your talents to grow and nurture his kingdom! Amy Evans - LPC in Norcross, GA (All my family grew up in Adrian, MO so I had to cheer for you and Rebecca)! God Bless you all!! Truman,

My twin made 1st in the local and my best friend made 2nd and I made 4th. :) My friends and I watched part of the Bible Bee live on Friday and we were amazed at how well you all did! It was so great watching you all and seeing teens quoting God's Word! Well done! God can do anything through anyone! We felt bad for you when we heard you speak. My best friend was saying that you probably stayed up the night(s) before studying the verses. Did you really have a sore throat? Way to stick to it! By the way, I'm on chapter 8 in 'Do Hard Things'. I thought it was cool that you read it and it motivated you to keep on going w/ the Bible Bee!! :D I'm working on a piano duet. I've never composed one before so it's quite a challenge! I just got done writing 8 or 10 messures in 2 or 1/2 hours. Few! That book motivated me to do more. Congratulations, Truman! Hey Truman,
