No! I'm not that old. :D In the leaderboard, I made it out of the 70s and hit 69th place!

I made it to the 60s! :D

Nice! I'm about finished with John 1, and then I'm debating between the books of Colossians, 1 John, or James.

So many good things in the Bible to memorize!

400?!?! That's awesome! What books/chapters have been your favorite to memorize?

Wow! That is amazing and takes a lot of dedication!

Haha, thanks. :)

I found something that really helped for memorizing larger passages. Not *just* relying on LearnScripture.net but also recording my voice reading the passage and listening to that and trying to keep up with that speed. That plus this site has really made it stick better. I'm looking forward to the next 100! After John 1 I'm going to James.

Good going!

Great progress!

Great number! Well done. Onto the next 100 now!

Haha, thanks. :)

Thanks for the tip, I.might try that

That's awesome!

For me... Giving me something to focus on while I do boring tasks (dishes, laundry, driving) has really been a blessing, helping me to stay focused on God and allowing me to meditate on his word day and night. I'm also learning so much more about several of these passages because I meditate on them throughout the day than I would normally get if I just read them and moved on.

Symota, you said you thank Him for what He is doing through His Word. Care to share any of that?

Awesome job! :D Keep it up!

Great point. And amazing milestone! All in a year? Geez... I'm slacking. :D

awesome! :D

Slow and steady will get you there. Unlike me, trying to dive in and then quickly get overwhelmed and have to start over. :P

No! I don't need another person to bump me down! haha, on the other hand, more competition. :P Seriously, though, that's an amazing milestone!

Boom! Nice! That's a great milestone to reach. :)

100k points! Nice work, buddy!

Nice job, Malikai!

Woot Woot! Keep it up! :D

Boom! Nice work.

That's a lot of points! Keep up the good work. :)

Wow, that is amazing. Awesome job!

Congrats! Great start!

Thanks joosep! God had to smack me around a bit to show me that I was neglecting Him for the idol of myself... and how important memorizing scripture is to His followers. This isn't just an academic extra credit assignment, this is what we're called to do. This is what makes us really grow. :)

nice to see you back, learning new verses! God is very good to us :)

Amen!

amen and amen!

Nice! Good job!

Nice work!

And then, to complicate it even more, now that I'm learning the CSB of that passage, what to do with the ESV? If I stop it, then it will ruin my streak. :D

Yeah, I know... I just like keeping consistent to one, even though I like both. It's not until I dig into some of these passages that I'm like... wait, what? John 15:5 for example, "am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." that is just a really confusing way to say what it's saying and it isn't clear.

Which means now part way through memorizing that section I want to switch versions. It isn't just that verse either, v7 is just grammatically off, it seems and it's making it more difficult.

So... I guess I stick with ESV as it's the main version I read and my church reads and I study, and use CSB when the ESV is noticeably less understandable.

I over think things sometimes.

Anybody else have trouble deciding *what* version to use? For studying I mainly use ESV so it makes since to use that for pretty much all of my memorization, but some sections of scripture... I kind of want to use CSB for. (I'm looking at you, John 15!) :D
