I sat in on church this past weekend. There is nothing like worshiping in "big church". It's like a little taste of heaven. But something said in the service was directed at me. I'm sure that's never happened to anyone else. But skit was what stuck me the most and it hit a home run... pun intended.
You see, I have a mind that loves to memorize things, crazy facts, funny stories and about a million songs. I can almost quote any Star Wars movie, re-read Lord of the Rings every year and have the entire opening sequence of Toy Story committed to memory. But I struggle to memorize Bible verses. Why is it that fictional movies, songs and books hold a higher place in my mind and heart? That's a question that I've been thinking about for the past few days. And more importantly, now that the question has come up, what am I going to do about it?

Well, for starters, I'm going to take more time to commit verses to memory. I've got about a half-dozen stored up in my brain right now. I'd like to double that before the end of this year. You why I know I can do it? Because if I can remember every word from the Veggie Tales soundtrack, then I know I can memorize God's word.

AMEN sista!
It's easier to memorize scripture if it is a song. That is primarily how I am able to memorize them, except for the reference...
I guess I need to work a little harder too!
I agree with Becki, we need more songs in scriture form! Maybe we need to check in on that!!!!!
