I'm Back!

After getting tripped off and getting absolutely nothing done on my memory work, I have decided that I am going to get back to my original inspiration, and that is Memorizing the book of Mark.

I'll be starting from scratch again but its all good, I started working on it yesterday and today I will sit down and dedicate a block of time to the first chapter.

How much time? I think I will start out at thirty minutes.

 why?

If I make my initial goals to lofty and fail, then it just fuels the fires of discouargment.

There were times when I was memorizing John in front of the clock. ( not on purpose ) And that I could actually perceive the hands of the clock moving.  
 I was trying to get in as much memorization time as I could, before I had to start the task of the day. Sometimes 2 hours would fly by !

In other words, once you get the Memorization inspiration, your going to become aware of every idle moment and want to fill it with with either a new memory verse or a chance to review.
There will be times that the clock will tick too fast and you will be sorry that your memory time is over.
Sometimes I have literally went to sleep memorizing and would wake up in the night memorizing, sometimes it wasn't the same thing I was memorizing when I went to sleep. Lol ! I had no idea what it was.

Anyway.

Once you overcome the initial mind war of the flesh telling you "uh, uh I don't want to do this" you feel something kick in and you start going to town.

Its like they say, as with any new task, if you can just get started, you've won half the battle.

I wanted to let you all know, that if you missed your chance to Memorize the Book of John with me.

If you have been putting it off, well, here is your chance to hop on board!
