Well done. That’s a lot of verses!

Hello Saintman :) Well done and keep on keeping on!

Thank you. And Joosep, I noticed you are one of the only ones to pass 3000 verses!

Yeah ... I adopted a different strategy a while ago. I use an Excel sheet for my review queue, go in Bible order, and add verses according to need.

That sounds like a good method, but more work. What are your memorization goals?

Hello again Saintman. The workload is whatever I am able to make time for on a given day. There are many days when I'm on this site for hours, usually spread throughout the day. If my schedule demands it, I might only be here for 30 or 45 minutes in the early morning.

It doesn't have to be "more work" since I am ignoring the review queue. I've put aside the method of logging in and completing the site's stated review queue. I use an Excel spreadsheet to go in Bible order and then I enter the date that I've completed a chapter, and then go on to the next chapter.

At the moment, for example, I've just completed Mark 15, and next I will go on to Mark 16. After that, I have two chapters in Luke to do, and then the whole of the Gospel of John.

As I feel moved to do so, whether by need or whether by sensing that God is trying to tell me something, I might add another chapter or chapters here and there, going in Bible order.

As for my memorization goals: as I go through my Excel sheet, as I come to verses which are almost ready to be "fully learnt" according to this website's standards, then some of them are added to my "fully learnt" total. But I simply let that happen as it happens. It's not really my goal. What I'm engaged in here is more like power reading / meditation on God's word / study of God's word. As the "fully learnt" verses come, they come, but they aren't my goal.

I hope that's helped to clarify what I'm engaged in. Personally, I find it to be a wonderful blessing to read and study God's Word in this way.

I felt that something I said might have been ambiguous: when I said "Bible order", what I mean is, those parts of the Bible which have been added ... which of course is only a very small percentage of the whole Bible. That part which I've added here on learnscripture.net, I cycle through them in Bible order and then when I'm done, I cycle through them again, adding chapters here and there when it seems good to do so.

Thanks for the explanation. I hope that your efforts continue to bring you to new heights in your journey with the Lord!

Thank you Saintman for your hope on my behalf! What I have found is that doing this has helped me to live much more consistently. And of course heights also take place now and then.
