You know I love the Kitty-Levin reference. 🙂 It’s nice to have finished Anna Karenina and *get* these kind of references now. Writings the letters with your finger is a great tactile way to embed (no pun intended) the verse too. I used to think first letters was ridiculous too until I discovered that it actually helped. I’m sure it’s still not for everybody, but thankfully it’s another shortcut for me (I need all I can get).

Thanks for your encouragement about the series. Pick and choose what is helpful to use; delete the rest.

It’s a crazy thing, but if it works, hey. 🙂

I’m bookmarking series too, Anita (including yours!). Trying to read all the great ones while trying to write for 31 days yourself is a bit much. ha. Lots of important work being done this month by so many awesome bloggers.

I know, right? Who even thought of using first letters first? 🙂 I’m sure glad they did though. It’s been a great help to me.

Great point, Floyd. Adding music to most anything makes it more memorable for me too! Most people are more gifted at *creating* the music than I am though, so I have to depend on them for that. 🙂

What a blessing that you had parents to memorize with, Devi. I’m sure they would be glad to know that you still remember pieces from both chapters still today!

Till reading this blog post, I thought this first letters idea was mad. Now I realise it is just like the Kitty-Levin proposal scene in Anna Karenina! Also, writing out the initials of a verse with my finger on the bedsheet was quite a nice thing to do. So, thank you for persevering!

I like reading about Scripture but I think for me chewing over the commentary would interfere with the learning. I think that kind of research is something I do when “homing in” to choose a verse to learn or, once I’ve initially learnt it, to help it embed a bit more deeply.

Excellent series! I especially love your “final word of encouragement”s.
