Again...
I seem to write about this at fairly regular intervals, but i do think it's one of the most important things i'm doing in homeschool and in life, with my children. and so necessary for me.
My friend Terry from tidbits sent along this post from Ann Voskamp http://www.aholyexperience.com/2009/11/why-memorize-scripture-habit-of.html
and i loved it! For one, she writes much more eloquently than i do :) - but there were a lot of beautiful truths expressed there... i loved the vision of intergenerational faithfulness of her example; (go read to see!)
I loved her idea of writing the first letter of each word down on a "cheat sheet" so you can easily check yourself as you go on your day.
My littles are learning James 2 this fall with me - and i could do this easily - add this to my part of the memorizing...
and for my own memorizing projects...
she has a ton of great resources re: memorizing too - i think sometimes the thing's in the doing - not necessarily having the right system or doing it perfectly, but just being faithful and taking a kick at the cat every day...

She's been memorizing the scripture for as long as I remember. She can rattle off books and books.
Quite amazing.
She's blind so she can't just go and read a verse whenever she wants....she goes and finds it in her heart :)
Trully and inspiration.
