How things can add up

Typically I don't like how things add up.  For example, I pay $15/mo to play a game.  Yes, a game.  well, $15 isn't that bad, but that is per month.  So in one year I am spending $180.  I could do some stuff with that kind of money.  

But beneficial things add up too.  That is what I'm really wanting to get at.  I'm wanting to take scripture memory more seriously.  If I can memory  a verse once a week then that is at least 50 new verses a year.  What do you think about that.  So feel free to join me on this adventure.  

Ephesians 4:11-12

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-12

Now I have a great book on scripture memory, unfortunately I lost a bunch of the memory verse cards, so I'm thinking I can use this blog and may palm pilot to do this with.  But the concept is that you don't just repeat the verse over and over, but that you study it.  For now we will simply look at the verse itself, and hopefully tomorrow we can look at the passage to provide some context.  It also helps to write it out instead of just reading.  And also reading aloud gives you the audio feedback to help in memory also.  I've always struggled with the reference, but the book recommends to do the reference scripture reference, and this has been a huge benefit.

The book I'm refering to is "Topical Memor System" from the Navigators
