Going for 2 chapters at once? :D That first one alone will take you a while... 80 verses... that's just slightly smaller than the entire book of James (105 verses)
To FinalAsgard, I'm using a method in which I create a passage of 5, 10, or 15 verses, whatever is suitable, and then keep practicing that passage over and over until I can almost do it perfectly. Then I move on to the next passage. I keep doing that all day until I reach my daily point goal of 114,300 (my weekly goal is 800,000). After each passage, I evaluate it in a Google Spreadsheet and assign for myself the appropriate next reviewal time of that passage. Then every day I begin either with the next passage in sequence, or I begin with the assigned passages for that day. So, no, I don't feel like I'm taking on too much. It's not all meant to be done in one day. I originally said a three year project, but I should have said 3-5 year project. It is a 3-5 year project and today is Day 2. *************** Dear All, to anyone who is interested: So, as I wrote in a comment on the Moviegoer's activity, I've decided to begin my own journey in the Gospel of Luke. In some ways it will be similar to what the Moviegoer has been doing in Mark. First, I want to hasten to say that I will write these "reports" only one time per month. It will be helpful to me to be accountable to all of you as to how I am progressing with it. But at the same time, I don't plan to add this topic to the newsfeed any more often than once per month. TheMoviegoer has a daily point goal of 142,000, to reach one million weekly. I admire that, but felt it was a little too high to be realistic for me, so I set my own goal at 114,300, or about 800,000 per week. I made this decision about 24 hours ago, and I began of course with Luke 1. I had already worked a lot on Luke 1, but it was years ago. So my report on Luke 1 is as follows: 53 out of 80 are already fully learned, and the rest have a progress percentage in the 80s or higher. Then I moved on to Luke 2: none are fully learned, but there are 20 verses in the 90% progress range. At the moment I'm working on Luke 3, using the method I described to FinalAsgard above. I'm also working on stopping learning on all of my other verses which are not in Luke, except for one verse from the Psalms which I will add each day to attempt a Consistent Learner's badge. This will help me to keep to this more central Luke project. I want to thank Moviegoer and FinalAsgard for inspiring and motivating me to do this by their own actions and examples :) If anyone feels I'm imitating Moviegoer, I am! and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say. But more importantly I believe it's the God focused thing I am to do now, and it's very important for me to do this publicly and make myself accountable.
I forgot to say, that the rest of Luke has mostly very low progress percentages or has never been added.
I want to *emphasize*, this is a three to five year project. I hope if the Lord wills, to give you a report every month regarding my progress on this, for the next three to five years.
