In reply to Pam.

I love how the words pop out differently to us as the days go on. Sometimes I don’t notice a pattern for several days, then all of a sudden, it’s crystal clear. ha. So it does help if I’ll intentionally stop now and again and search for them.

Isn’t Scripture Typer a wonderful tool? Except on days when my computer is super slow. 😉 (Not to mention my fingers and brain.)

In reply to floyd. Thanks, Floyd. I still wouldn't say I'm "good at this" but I am grateful for picking up a few tips along the way that make it a little easier. :)

In reply to Jerralea. Thanks, Jerralea. The more I started jotting down about this series, the more I realized that there is a lot to share about scripture memory. I love that the web has so many resources that we can swap with each other!

In reply to Linda Stoll. You're doing good, Linda. One verse at a time is enough. Our brains may be sluggish, but they're still going. :)

I love all of your tips. I didn’t realize that I was already using word patterns to help me memorize Isaiah 12:1. When I was trying to recall the first part of the verse as I went about my day, I would sometimes start off with “In that day” instead of “You will say in that day.” Yesterday as I was reciting the verse, I noticed the pronouns “you”and “me” (like you did) and started putting emphasis on them as I recited the verse and it helped so much. Now after reading what you said about word patterns, I’m going to use that tip frequently.
I’ve also been using Scripture Typer and I love the tip about first letters.

What a great topic you’ve chosen, Lisa! I liked your thought, “If we want to think better thoughts throughout our day, let’s put better ideas into our heads to start with.”

Thanks for sharing tools for memorization. I’m bookmarking this to come back and study.

mmm … maybe index cards will help me … I’m still on the first 2 verses. 60 year old brains are stubborn and slow to move!
