I was trying hard to not go learn a bunch of extra verses just to get the points when I was so close. So I just continued my normal routine and watched it increase. I was only ~800 points away when I finished my "just got to work" session, so I had to wait until my lunchtime session to cross the threshold.

Nah, I'm not worried about the points, I've just had my eye on wanting to join that multimillionaires club since I first joined in 2019 :D
And that is good encouragement. I've been a follower for... geeze, almost 30 years now (I can't be that old...) and have had my ups and downs. This last year has been a great blessing for me with reading the Bible a lot more consistently (I slowed down and lowered my goal instead of trying to keep up with a through the Bible in a year plan again).
But I keep going back and forth on ... well, not the importance, but the priority of scripture memorization. It just takes so much dedicated time (5 mins a day is easy to start but as you memorize more, that time quickly grows).
Praise God that I got a new job this year, and it has really helped me reduce my stress by 10 fold, and given me more time at home as well, and let me get a more consistent morning routine going. While thinking on Psalm 1 (one of the first chapters I memorized) I was just reminded of the importance of making scripture memorization a priority. So here I am again. :)
I've been trying to decide what to work on next after finishing Romans 12.... Philippians 3 looks really good... that is definitely a top contender. :D
