Congratulations a great achievement!

Thanks! It´s a good feeling to get this badge - it´s easy to "sort of" learn a verse and really hard to get it exactly right!

Well done! 😊

Noooo!!! How did this even happen? I was looking forward to my 9-month consistency badge this week...it didn´t come, maybe because Feb is a short month? And now that I´m a few days overdue, I notice that I missed one day last week! How was that possible? That was my cunning plan to leapfrog past Eric, and now I will have to work much harder to do that. Ok, I´m awarding myself a point-less consolation prize of 471 consecutive days of LearnScripture, and like I always say, the points mean nothing. After all, it´s not that long until January 2017, right? Or maybe I should make a little tradition of skipping a day every time I approach 9 months in a row just to demonstrate that I don´t care about the points? Oh, well, whatever. I´m enjoying going through John all over again, and I´m looking forward to continued progress in Romans. I´ve learned a huge amount through this site. (And Eric, I WILL catch you someday... :-)

Oooh I feel your pain!!! Did that myself. It's so frustrating! But as you say Jan 17 isn't too far away! ;) If you need a few days off to let any backlog get caught up now is the time to take a breather. You are an inspiration though with your consistency despite missing the badge. Others would be tempted to give up.

Oooh that's hard! Happened to me with the 3 month badge, and I thought the same 'points don't matter' - she says, double checking daily that she has learnt a new verse as 3 months approaches again. But seriously you are a great example to us learning new verses and encouraging others, I'm sure it is a blessing to you.

Congratulations! Quite impressive! You've got great achievements.

Thanks guys. Knew I could cry on your shoulders for a minute. And even though I could actually use this opportunity to take a little break from a new verse every day... I don´t think I will, because I´m enjoying learning. But I enjoy learning together with you guys, I don´t think I could have kept it up on my own. Here I am in Romans 1, and Paul wants to visit them "that we may mutually encouraged by each others´ faith, both yours and mine." Well put, and thanks for your company.

Revising Romans 1 tonight also 😀

I am speaking the truth—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart for Robinshe. (adapted from Romans 9:1-2)

As a beloved sister in Christ told me one day, "I am, by the way, pleased to see that your acute need to pass me resulted in you..." (the rest of the story does not end in a happy ending though as I read through this thread because she will never pass me). :-o

I believe that it is wonderful though that you had a cunning plan to leapfrog me! But as you see, "This alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes" (Ecclesiastes 7:29). And despite these schemes, underlying everything, there was perhaps a fire placed in your spirit by God to study harder than before? I'm honored I could be used by God for part of your commitment to the Word. :)

Grace, Mercy, and Peace to you and yours as you move past this insignificant, and yet utterly catastrophic defeat in Learnscripture.net Heather. Ha-ha!

Much love,
