That's wonderful, janet23! as many others have said, all of those points represent a lot of meditating on, repeating, learning and memorizing of God's Word. In John 17:17 Jesus prayed, "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." The word of God most certainly, cleanses and purifies our thoughts, as we steadfastly meditate upon it.
Thank you :) May I explain a bit? I've had a lot of free time during our Christmas / New Year's holiday period, and so I've been using that time to get all of the rest of Luke set up on my spreadsheet for eventual review, so that come mid-January when I'm much more busy, things will go a bit more smoothly doing my daily routine here :) That's why so many verses have been added recently

I wrote, "I know the feeling" but it's not exactly true. You've lost both in the same year; that makes it especially difficult, in a way that was not so for me.
I pray the Lord's continuing comfort for you. I know the feeling, I've been missing my mom and dad for many years now, and still miss them. I'm very glad to hear that your mum and dad were believers. God's peace and rest upon you.
Good morning, PeterP! I'm trying to fill in some gaps in the gospel of John. Some of it is fully learnt, others are still on their way towards 100%,. I'm talking about John 1-16, and not 17-21. As for Luke, I'm still working on it, that's where my main emphasis is. With those verse passages I do my best to review them when due, and continuously add new ones also. Currently I'm up to Luke 18. What are some of the main passages / letters / books you are working on? Nice to chat with you, and have a pleasant day :)

I’m focussing on John, mainly. I started with John 10 and gradually worked my way through to 21. This year I’ve added John 1-4 (when I say ‘added’, I really mean ‘started’ of course!) Currently learning John 5. So the plan for 2024 is to add chapters 6-9. May you know God’s joy and blessing in 2024!
Good morning, janet23. I just thought I'd say hello. I'm reading through the Psalms currently (not practicing them here on Learn Scripture) but reading them to myself out loud. I'm at Psalm 29 at the moment. I pray, that you'll have a blessed day in the Lord!
