This year, I'm taking Ms. Moore's challenge to heart. I'm going to pick-up where I left off in 2011 and memorize the verses I didn't memorize in 2011. Here's the good part: I don't have to buy a new spiral, choose the verses, copy the verses, cut them out OR paste them in a spiral. I MERELY have to memorize them. Double click on the following link for more information on the Living Proof Ministries' Scripture Challenge. The Scripture Memory Challenge is discussed in detail in the December 17th post
To tell you the truth, I'm not the world's biggest Beth Moore fan. I spent the first 16 years of my life in the Western suburbs of Chicago (Wheaton was where we went to file paperwork when we were evicting someone from one of our rental properties) and I am a third-generation Presbyterian. Some people call us the 'frozen chosen.' Ms. Moore is a little too happy, clappy for me. To her credit, she has gotten a whole lot of ladies excited about Bible Study and she is a member of the same sorority that I am.
In case you are wondering, here is the list of scriptures I'm memorizing in the NIV 2011: Matthew 25:40, Psalm 118:24, Psalms 3:5-6, Matthew 5:3, Isaiah 66:2, Matthew 19:14, Isaiah 40:31, John 3:16, Hebrews 11:1, Luke 2:10-12, John 16:33, Romans 12:2, Proverbs 16:3, Psalm 143:8, Psalm 46:10, Luke 1:37, Romans 8:37, John 14:27, 2 Timothy 2:15, John 1:1-2, John 1:3-4, Isaiah 40:29, Hebrews 4:12, Proverbs 4:23, Psalm 23:1, Philippians 4:19, and Jeremiah 29:11. I based this list, loosely, upon the scriptures/concepts I thought kids should know by the time they finished elementary school. It is neither a comprehensive nor an exhaustive list.
Memorizing Scripture is hard work. Time for a cat nap.
