Congrats, mrsmoo!

Thank you onfire. My first large passage, all but 3 verses of Psalm 139. Tears of great JOY every time I close my eyes and recite it.

next stop, 90 :) God is good to us and merciful every day.

He is gracious and oh, so faithful! May he bless your faithful learning of his word.

AMEN and AMEN..... Thanks all for your encouragement

a wonderful Psalm ... it's on my queue for learning ... someday :)

Great effort.

Wonderful.

Rejoicing in 20 gems glistening in your heart. And the JOY of time well spent.

:) was sitting in church this morning and Pastor said... BE ONFIRE 24/7... and i whooped... was thinking to myself... Hey.... I know him. So thanks for being a role model!

Thanks for creating this wonderful verse set.

haha.... and yes Moviegoer, this community shares the love of Jesus as all encourage one another to stay on the narrow path which i cherish and need new everyday.

wait.... am i too late to light the celebration fireworks? and wonderful news encouraging a friend to join this community. your passion is a testimony to others.

good point... i can tell if there is a verse in a passage i have already learned. in the cue it often says 23 out of 24. So when i open up to test.... on the very first verse... i go to the test instead of read. so every verse will be tested. I must say, since recently learning this function, this has been a game changer for me and really drives things deep... as well, it challenges me. And a warning, when you get to that 'fully learned' verse, it will default to practice when you hit the space bar at the end of typing. you need to manually change to see again. Always a JOY to see your name, rvfc2 too

YES... while there is nothing special about all the zeros, it is a great visual reminder and milestone. YES evidence of time well spent. rejoicing with you.

"test instead of read" function will give you the ability to practice. I now use that a lot when i am tested on large passages, but had previously "Fully Learnt" one verse. It will not permanently adjust that specific verse, but lets me practice with flow to the whole. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks joosep. This morning I have been looking back over my life... over trials, pain, challenges, and past victories, miracles, and blessings. I have never been alone. Rejoicing in His love (and patience)...... singing praises \O/ and giving thanks... in ALL things.

tho i know you are asking this of Moviegoer, I have really benefited from "Test instead of read" for the very reasons you list. Greater richness and deeper meaning. plus it really gets into my memory. So thankful for learning about this option. It is a blessing.

Many thanks to all. Appreciate your support, encouragement, and sharing of ideas. In a year of isolation, it has been great comfort to see familiar names appear on my screen each day. To see and be inspired by the selections you are working on. To hear ways that you incorporate learning or using scripture. And the JOY of celebrating individual milestones knowing that ultimately.... it is ALL to the glory of God.

Rejoicing with you and celebrating your perseverance. To God be the glory!

:) I know :) I trust I will be with Jesus before i finish the other 31,032 verses. :) (she says laughing with tears of JOY)

Thanks joosep .... actually.... the first one was the best :) I so crave and cherish every moment reading, learning, memorizing. Often i am in tears and so glad no one here can see!!! I love and appreciate this community of believers. Especially while the world becomes, well, increasingly insane. Comfort knowing others are on this path (even if we wear different shoes) I cling to scripture to keep me grounded and keep my eyes focused on Jesus. So thankful.

I'm sure it must feel good! I know it felt good for me when I reached 50.

yes .... me too ... I feel precisely the same ...

Congratulations, mrsmoo! The beauty of having so many verses in the arsenal of your mind means that you can refresh yourself by the still waters of His Word at anytime, anywhere.

Amen Symota! I was inspired by something TheMoviegoer said, and recently I've begun reciting some passages to my wife as a captive audience :) She's a Christian too, so she likes it. I mean to say, not actually reciting from memory, but practicing toward attaining that end. It's awesome.

That's awesome mrsmoo. Well done!

Joosep, that’s wonderful that you are able to practice saying your verses with your wife!

Brilliant. Well done. Many more to follow I’m sure. Stay blessed

I appreciate your comments, mrsmoo. It's my desire and my prayer that I come to this website every morning with a pure motivation, to know Him better. I'm very far from perfect. My wife certainly knows that ;) . But I also feel so happy in His love, and it means a lot to me to hear from others who are also blessed by the purity and completeness of His love.

You are zipping along! Great effort.

Yippee.... great job.

Awesome effort.

Amen... Wonderful effort.

The Lord gives us what we need. And this site has richness in its organization giving plenty of variety for learning styles. You make good points. At first I didn't realize there were badges as i was focused on strengthening my memory. Then saw joosep talk about "test instead of read" and thought wow! something new to try (even tho it was always there- who knew?!) Most of the time I focus on scripture the same way I walk.... Slow.... and Steady!!! Rejoicing in the opportunity to plant scripture into my heart. I appreciate this diverse community of believers who bring passion, compassion and encouragement to our journey. Thanks onfire247, continue to be blessed and to be a blessing to others.

oh my.... you certainly give great thought to doing this. For me it was a total surprise to hit that badge....and a blessing to have remembered with such accuracy. I do think that test and read, for me, really challenges my memory instead of clicking over earlier verses to get to the current ones. But it does take time. Thanks onfire247 for being an inspiration and for really modeling your screenname.

Actually have YOU to thank for that one! I was working on Psalm 27 when I read your comment about "test instead of read" ...well.... For 4 days that's what I did every time I saw it. Really drove that scripture deep. But... back to dinging on other things in the 'to be tested' list.... Thankful for the patience of our God.

very nice!

Thank you mrsmoo so much! It's good to hear that my somewhat random comment had a good effect!

Congrats! You can actually do max Ace in a day with this method. Just find a sufficiently long passage and get 30 or so verses into it. Then when it comes up for review, edit the group so that it has no dividers. Thus, when verse 30 comes up for review, it will start with verse 1. When you see verse 1, toggle it to test instead. Do the first few verses that you've practiced a hundred times, and then click on dashboard. Go back into the review, and it will be back at verse 1. Rinse and repeat until you get 256 in a row. I was thinking that a good selection to do this with was the sermon on the mount (Matt 5-7) because the beatitudes at the beginning are pretty easy to remember and are short verses. Or if you really want to make it easy, choose 1 Thess 5:16-17 and repeat those two verses over and over.

Congratulations, mrsmoo! The surprise badges are very rewarding indeed. 👍🏽

Thanks for the kind words, Mrs. Moo. Honestly, I wish this badge ended at 32 or 64. The things you have to do to get this badge higher than 64 feels like cheating. Honestly, I'd rather see an achievement for the number times you got something perfect over the course of time. For example, got a verse 100% correct 10 times, then 100, then 500, then 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000. That would show accuracy over time and would feel like more of an accomplishment. Or better yet, add more layers in between. I'm a big fan of achievements, which is one of the things that drew me to this site. In fact, I wish every badge (except this one) had 20 levels instead of 10 with smaller intervals, because after you get your first million points it feels like you hardly ever get badges. At any rate, this post is not meant to denigrate you or anyone else who gets the higher Ace badges. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own insecurities at these badges, for I cannot see how I'll ever get them without cheezing them (which feels wrong on a Bible memory site).

and may us... newbies.... become new found friends on the narrow path. A glorious journey.

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C Wonderful effort. So happy for you

love to see all those zeros! Evidence of time well spent!

Beyond amazing achievement. What a glorious testimony to love and dedication.

REJOICING.... and dancing with praise.... What an inspiration.

YES! great indeed.

Glorious and exciting.

That's a big milestone! Awesome.
