Thx, Susan_likes_Superbook

I give mad props to the person that tackles any of the major geneologies

As I have thought further about memorizing, I have wondered how difficult Psalms would be as a book because of the repetition of phrases that are the same or slightly different. BTW, Joosep, it is never wrong to check!

Is it wrong to assume that verses quoted in the comments are most likely from memory? 😉

Joosep, isn't it great! It is a huge encouragement to see brothers and sisters seeking, studying, and memorizing the word... AND hearing their stories!

T-Rey, I cannot believe that I have never heard of this. I will certainly investigate between learnscripture.net sessions!

JDJDJD, I agree. Symota did summarize things very well. One of the great benefits of going through all of this is that it makes meditating on God's word more natural. When I recite, recall, etc., there is a natural tendency to think through God's word more than if I just picked up the Bible and started reading.

Symota, as a kid, my mom would tell me that POWs often recalled how important hymns and memorized verses were to them while in captivity. While I don't necessarily anticipate that particular struggle, I do find that it tends to keep the word of God more regularly in mind-which is a tremendous blessing as we live and serve in the church.

onfire247, I really appreciate the desire to memorize the NT. Sadly, if I spend a year on each book, I might not have the mental capability to remember as well. Still, what a wonderful goal.

T-rey, that is fascinating. What do you do if all the schools all ace the quizzes?

Thanks, joosep! knowing him through his word... That is wonderful and encouraging. Plus, I also really appreciate the thought of going before God with our needs and recognizing that all of our needs are met primarily through him.

Thanks again, everyone! I am curious... what motivate you all (onfire247, symota, JDJDJD, T-rey, joosep) to focus on memorizing scripture?

Thanks, Symota! I'm going for the whole book of Mark. Hopefully by the end of the year

Thanks, onfire247... it is good make progress!

Thanks, joosep! I didn't expect bonus points. Pretty sweet!
