Could you please describe the nomenclature you are using? I am just curious. :-)

Well I started using this site and memorizing verses using the book Memorize the Word by Lorne Sanny, which has 12 lessons. Each lesson has 6 verses, 3 per week. So verses from the book are "Memorize the Word" 001.0, 001.5, etc.
Then I also had verses of my own that I already kind of knew and wanted to be sure to commit to memory so then those sets became 001.0A, 001.5A, etc.
A couple of times during the years I have memorized various verses, but then with one thing or another, eventually stopped memorizing verses.
Then I decided to start again, and I have a Bible where I had highlighted all the verses that I wanted to memorize. So I copied them all down on index cards. Some verses I already knew fairly well, like Psalm 119:105, etc, so then I would memorize sets 001.0A the same week that I was doing the memorize the word set 001.0.
So now that I have made my way all the way through the memorize the word book, now I am memorizing the verses that I have highlighted in my Bible and written down on index cards. And it usually ends up being something from Psalms or proverbs plus something from the Old Testament and something from the New Testament.
I realize this answer went on a bit long, but it takes a bit to explain the system I have, such as it is.
And I think that perhaps I may have another 300 to 400 verses left in the index cards to memorize, which will take about two years more at the rate of 4 verses per week. And then at that point when I run out of verses that I have already copied, I will read through the Bible again and note additional verses to memorize.
I also read the Bible daily, and this year for variety's sake, I am reading it through chronologically using a bible plan online.
Thank you for inquiring.

It's an older book, so you might want to try Amazon used books or ebay or something like that.
