Thank you! (In the interest of transparency ... I got that 256 in a row by reviewing a collection of about 80 or 90 verses that I know really well, and then repeating them over and over ... so maybe it's not quite so amazing) But the whole exercise was awesome, it gave me a deeper focus and concentration on the Lord during that time when I was doing it.
I live in Estonia, and there is a saying here which people sometimes repeat: Repetition is the mother of wisdom. (Of course, they say it in Estonian and not in English). Anyway, that saying certainly applies to learning scripture as well.
Thank you for the encouragement, PeterP. There's certainly no other website in existence which has helped me as much as this one has -- I'm sure many others here would say the sme.
Congratulations, joosep, on reaching this difficult milestone! Interesting back story, nevertheless, sometimes it's with the verses we know well that it's easier to have minor slips. I'm glad that the whole exercise was a tremendous blessing to you. I concur that this is the best website for memory work. 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks. Lately I've just had the desire to go very slowly and repeat some passages which I know well .... hence, the Ace award. It's been good spiritual food, something I needed.

By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. --1 Timothy 3:16
But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!
2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. --Isaiah 43:1-2
27 “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” John 12:27-28
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. James 1:17
