So I joined the YMCA to try to get in shape (not lose weight; get in shape! We're going to focus on health, not looks!).

Anyway, I've been jogging around the track, and I find it really boring. I can't listen to music because that doesn't keep me going.

So I've found a new solution. I recite Bible passages that I know. I can do Isaiah 53, Philippians 4, Matthew 28:18-20, Psalm 23, 1 Corinthians 13, and some others. I cycle through them twice, and that takes me to 20 minutes. So then I feel like the time is flying by better, and I get to meditate on Scripture!

My oldest daughter is doing Bible quizzing this year and I'm studying with her, so I'm going to start trying to memorize her passages, too, and say them. Maybe I'll even get up to half an hour soon!

We love to memorize The Word around here. This year we are working on Galatians, Ephesians, Phillipians and Colossians. We are currently up to Phillipians Chapter 2
