I have to admit, since I first sent that email and now I'd slacked off a bit on my memorization because repetiton bores me.

I'm also learning them faster, maybe I'll only be out of trouble for one year! ;-) YSIC Mamie In a message dated 2/27/2001 2:57:46 PM Pacific Standard Time, Elphick.Davidsaugov.sa.gov.au writes: << Hello Mamie, A thought that I've yet to put into practice regarding the Psalms is to buy a CD or tape with them put to music as they are intended.

If you check the one on World Capitals, which uses Java, , you'll see exactly the type of testing and review system I think would be GREAT! For Scripture - and for math, and teaching many other things. It's great that you can "flip" the card as many times as you want to review right then, but put in back in the "stack" if you don't have it learned well - or take it out if you do. And then to be able to start over with all of them whenever you want ..., well, it's about ideal for certain memorizing, I think. I'd like to get this program, and be able to just put in Scripture verses on one side of the card, and references on the other, and use it on the computer. I've written to them and they won't give it apparently. However, it should not really be too complicated a program to do. I looked at the "Source" on my browser. I don't understand all that I saw, but think perhaps some of what is needed to know to program your own may be there. At any rate, do any of you know some good programmers who might be able to easily do this? Or do you know of some way to get such a program?

I find the best way is to read the verse aloud five times. Then put your hand over the verse and see if you can say it perfectly. If you can't, then repeat again until you can do it. Memorization becomes much easier with practice. Once you get the verse perfectly, go on to another verse, but come back to the first one in a few days. People who start memorizing struggle at first, but in a short time it becomes easy and extremely rewarding. You might also get a helper to meet with you thirty minutes a week. This keeps you accountable, and you will move much faster. James L.

I recently stumbled upon a reference to this list and have now joined. Memory of Scripture fascinates me... we have lost so much that was second nature to those who passed scripture from generation to generation. It is quite incredible that Psalm 119, even with its acrostic style, ever reached us! I am a minister in the Church of Scotland, member of Mensa, and I use Mind mapping and other memory techniques in my own preparation and learning... and in some teaching... So years ago, I watched a professional actor deliver the 'sermon on the mount' - and that inspired me to commit the three chapters to memory. On five ocassions now, I have 'preached the sermon on the mount' - from memory... and to much effect So that's some of what makes me tick... I look forward to sharing in this list... yours Donald Rev Donald Mccorkindale http://www.dalgety-church.org.uk =============================================================================== Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 17:40:55 -0500 Subject: Re: Reply to Drew Reed From: The way I have memorized some bible verses is thru music....we sing some like Psalm 34, Psalm 19:7-10, Malachi 3:10, and so on and so forth.....this is in spanish of course........it has helped me. =============================================================================== Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 17:41:04 -0500 Subject: Biblemem Moderator's Note From: Stephen Simpson Greetings, Effective today, I am moving the list to a new email address.
