Memorization 2015
In a recent post I explained the overall plan for this year. I just wanted to stop by again to give a few specifics.
As you know, during the last five months of 2014 I worked at memorizing Philippians. The recommendation from the booklet we’ve been using is to recite it daily for 100 more days.
So I’m going to do that more or less. I know that I don’t get to memorize every day without fail, so if I recite it every chance I get to mid-May that should more or less do it. After that the idea is to continue reciting it once a week.
Regarding memorizing John, I should be about 12% through the book by mid-May at the current pace (which is memorizing about 5-6 verses per week. You could do that, couldn’t you?). After that, I may pick things up a bit to finish the book either by the end of 2015 or 2016.
So here’s the plan:
- January: Memorize to John 1:24
- February: Memorize to John 1:46
- March: Memorize to John 2:19
- April: Memorize to John 3:17
- May 15: Memorize to John 3:29
I would love for you to join me, but whether you do or not it is helpful to have the accountability of publishing my intentions here. 😉 I admit, I’m enjoying John so far!
Whatever you do, be sure to study God’s Word in 2015!
