What? How weird. No - marinate in order to change. Change my heart?  Yes.  I am reading a book by Gary Smalley "Change Your Heart, Change Your Life. " It's understanding is hide God's word in your heart. Mr. Smalley says chew on it, meditate on it, day and night. I attended a retreat hosted by our church, Simmons Loop if you live in the area and are interestred in a Southern Baptist. anyway. The retreat speaker was Aprile Sweers - she too spoke of God's Word changing your heart. Her illustration was a meat that was changed by marinating, basically pickled it and it wouldn't grill.  I have memorized scripture and participated/encouraged Bible drills, but I agree with the premise. I also have John Macarther's scripture memory system that I kicked off this week. I'm am finding myself, instead of complaining, quoting the scripture. This week's verse. Psalm 103:1-4 "Bless the Lord, O my sould. All that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits. Who heals, forgives, saves, crowns." I'm still working on the memorization.
