Just checking to see.....
what we should do! I was so excited at the beginning of the year to memorize a verse of scripture each week. And, for a while, I did okay! And, then summer hit.....and then we were gone for what seemed the entire month of July. Now it is already the first full week of AUGUST! What in the world?
So, I'm trying to get back into a routine and wanted to see what is the interest level in continuing on with our memory work. If you would leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. I have also considered quitting with xanga and just posting the verse for the week on Facebook because I spend more time there than I do here. I would love to hear your thoughts on that as well! Thanks! :)

Week 26--Psalm 34:8
So, so, so sorry that I missed a few weeks. I apologize. Things have been CRAZY around here and one week we were without internet service when I thought I would have it. Hope you have enjoyed a break....and we're back at it this week!
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Psalm 34:8 ESV
**************************************************************************************
If you would like to catch up, here are the verses.....
Week 24--Titus 3:5
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.
Week 25--I Thessalonians 4:3-4
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor.

Week 23--Psalm 139:1-4
Oh Lord, You have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
Psalm 139:1-4 (ESV)
Oh, this passage brings back memories of teaching 5th grade at Emmanuel Christian! My kiddos had to memorize this passage....actually, I think they memorized up to verse 6! I love this passage of scripture because it shows the sweet intimacy that is shared in a relationship with God! And, it reminds us that Someone is watching....He sees things that we do that no one else sees....lovingly taking care of our kiddos or elderly parents. Rising early to get ready for the day while the rest of the house sleeps....each load of laundry and each diaper that needs to be changed. He knows it all! And, He loves us in spite of ourselves!

Week 22-I Timothy 6:12a
I Timothy 6:12a
Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called.
If you are like me.....you might be a little behind in Bible Verse memorization. BUT....this might be a good week to recommit and give it another go.....because it is a nice short, but very powerful verse!
