Janet I know that you're working on Revelation and you mentioned being up to Psalm 39. Are there other areas of the Bible which you're also working on? :)
It's hard to say what I'm up to ... I'm basically working on all of John. Many of the verses are "fully learned" in chapters 1-9) I'm working on getting all of those to be fully learned, and also working on completing the rest of the gospel of John. Parts of chapters 11 and 12 are also at or are nearly fully learned.
But I'm also working on several other parts of the Bible, including Revelation as I mentioned before.

I’m in the opposite position - I’ve added John chapters 10-21. (Started learning, that is, far from ‘fully learned’!) Now I need to add John 1-9. But it’s a long-drawn-out project, and I’m also interspersing other chapters that strike me as I read or hear them preached. (Currently 2 Timothy 2)
so between my 2 users Goodnews and janet23. I have done Genesis 1-3, Psalms up to 38 , Proverbs up to 12 . all Song of Solomon, Matthew the sermon on the mount. Chapters 5-7, Mark up to chapter 11 . John up to chapter 10, Have done Galatians Ephesians Philippians and colossian and have just finished Revelation . as well as heaps of random chapters and verses
Yes indeed. I've had the same issue, dealing with sets which I started perhaps years ago and then didn't work on for a long time, and I've also employed the same strategy, starting over on those sets using a different account.
Goodnews, concerning many events happening in the world, I am doing my best to keep my focus squarely on our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your prayers.
Hello Goodnews :) I just want to say, I've done this with the Psalms also, I mean, combining several Psalms into one set. I think it can be a useful idea. Honestly, I don't know these Psalms too particularly well, except for Psalm 19; and Psalm 20:6-8 is the basis of a song we used to sing in church a long time ago.
Yes, I relate. I've felt the same confliction. At times I wish there were an option here to disable the News Feed. At other times, I'm encouraged by the discussion.
may I comment here? just a quick note to say, if you wish, you can create an identical "Complete - Mark 01" set, leave it private, and then when you name it, name it "Complete - Mark 01 - Private". Then choose that set whenever you work on it. That way you wouldn't feel bad anymore :)
BUT on the other hand I LIKE it when I see that once again your are working on Complete - Mark 01. It's edifying ... and Paul tells us many times to edify one another. For example, 1 Corinthians 14:12 and 26. I'm serious about this, to put it a different way, it encourages me, inspires me, motivates me, edifies me to see that someone is straining towards the memorization of all of the Gospel of Mark. In that sense you don't need to feel bad at all :)
