Joosep! Good to see you're not able to stay away completely! How is your Bible learning going? You're welcome to come back here anytime, hope all is well with you.

Hello Robinshe! Thank you for your "welcome back". I came back and felt a bit overwhelmed by the many, many verses that were due, so I created a new account, "Tallinn". The thing is, I accidentally disabled the commenting feature, so I can see comments there but can't make my own comments using the Tallinn username :)

Things have been going just fine in the last year, and I thank God for that. I've been using Memverse and ScriptureTyper, but I plan to be back here and to use this site exclusively, for the foreseeable future.

I really thank God for His Word. I can't say enough how precious His word is to us and how wonderful it is to meditate on / deeply think about it / focus on it (I wouldn't call what I do real and true memorizing.)

As usual I've gone on long-windedly. Thank you for your warm welcome, it meant a lot.

Ha! I was right :-) I decided that either Tallinn was a friend of yours to whom you had recommended the site (and maybe you reviewed a few verses under "joosep" while you showed Tallinn how it works...) or else Tallinn was actually you ready for a fresh start here! Glad to have you back :-) I think I know what you mean about meditating rather than memorising - maybe I just have a bad long-term memory but it takes me *forever* to finish a verse, even ones I´ve reviewed dozens (hundreds?) of times. But in learning 3 verses I day I am continually finding small jewels that I did´t know were there, new discoveries, new connections, new understanding. And it doesn´t really matter if I ever know them word-perfect or not. Right now I´m working my way slowly through Acts, I´m up to Chapter 9, and really enjoying seeing everything that happened as a result of Christ´s resurrection.

yes, i agree with you. The main thing is to be obedient and let God's word sink down deep into our hearts, and then to do and to live according to what His Word says :) ... to let His word change us ...

Keep letting us know what fresh things you observe in Acts!

Maybe the commenting feature will get fixed and I'll be able to comment as "Tallinn", but until then I can comment as Joosep of course :)

Greetings from Estonia and may God bless your day!
