In reply to Brooke Espinoza. Thanks, Brooke. It's really been helpful to me so far with John 15 to have a mental map. I'm walking through my bedroom with it (in my mind). It'd make sense to no one but me, but that's okay if it's working. :)

These are great, Lisa! The map it out one was very interesting! I like doing word studies and listening to Bible teachings on verses with words or phrasing that are unfamiliar to me at face value. It helps me better understand the message communicated in the verse. I think I will try drawing it out, too. That’s a great idea! Thanks!

In reply to Pamela. I'd love to see your drawings, Pamela. Things that we draw, we're more likely to remember, right? It works that way for me, too. But my drawings would help no one else but me, I'm sure. ha.

In reply to Kim Adams Morgan. I can't recall all the verses I learned once upon a time either. :( But I like to think they're still in there somewhere floating around. Even if we can't remember them word for word, hopefully the concepts remain and continue to draw us closer to the Living Word.

In reply to Riana. The reminders really do make a difference for me. Of course, I'm a big list-maker so anything that gets put on a list can make a difference. :)

In reply to Beverley. Ha. Actually I don't think I have a very good memory about a lot of things that I don't pay attention to. I probably have to work twice as hard to learn half as much. ;-)

In reply to Crystal Twaddell. If you like to get analytical, the dissecting part is lots of fun. :) I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I enjoy it and I always learn something extra to help me understand the verse better.

I had to laugh when I read the “draw it out” idea, Lisa. My family laughs at me because every story I ever told was marked up with letters and drawings. I memorized them and told the story from the long string of them down a page. Somehow I could see the symbols. I will admit, the older I’ve gotten the harder it is. I’m so thankful for those chapters I committed to memory as a child. The mapping it out intrigued me–I’m going to try it. ~Pamela

Hi Lisa, I love that you are teaching this. I’m not great at remembering anything, but from way back our first pastor was big on this and so I dug in. I’m so glad I did. I still remember the first one we learned. I’d like to say I can recount all of them…but I can’t. One day I will be closer.
