A Wildflower Morning

I just read an inspiring post about Bible memorization, "Maybe the Most Important Thing you do for Your Faith, " by Ann at Holy Experience .  I'd really suggest that you go there , if you'd like to be inspired to memorize more.  Plus she gave some very practical tips, and tools (such as websites to help you print note cards) to help with memorization that I know will help me.  Maybe they will help you too.

Rainbow in the rosy sunset light last week.  In the middle of May, I wrote about a Bible Memorization seminar I attended.  I wrote about my old brain having a hard time memorizing anything, but that I felt motivated to try again, using www.scripturetyper.com . Let me tell you, it was hard, slow work at first, but the on-line software worked for even one as-slow-of-brain, as I.  Required perseverance paid off, and I, even with my tired, old brain, one month later, am memorizing much faster now.  I looked at my stats and saw that I've got 20 verses currently memorized!  I two months ago, I would not have said that was possible.
