On Memorization...

I've been thinking for a while now that if I can learn all my lines for a role such as "Emile de Becque" in South Pacific, not at all just a few lines mind you, then certainly I can memorize many favorite verses from the Bible. And, wouldn't you know that the church where I have been privileged to share my music as singer and pianist for some time now has presented all who attend with the challenge of committing to memory no less than 50 Bible verses and then quoting/reciting them by memory in front of the congregation. The successful memorizer can earn or win a free lunch/lunches to Golden Corral, as stated by the pastor. And since Matthew chapter 5 has 48 verses all together, I feel that this chapter will make a great 48 verses to memorize, since it is Jesus Christ's sermon on the mount, a very famous sermon of the Lamb of Glory! Amen. -tl
What a joy it is to know that no matter what our occupation may be or what our station is in life, by regularly being aware of our spiritual needs and acting positively on this awareness, we can be happy and blessed, spiritually enriched.-tl
