I'm planning some kind of reflective post about my first semester of teaching full-time, but this isn't it. :-)
In the meantime, I wanted to share about a great idea I came across in a friend's blog. You can read more there (scroll down to the second part of the post), or you can check out the original post from Beth Moore.
The basic idea is that we are committing to memorize 24 scripture verses in 2011, two per month. Everyone participating will choose his/her own verses, which is a neat approach. It's been a really long time since I have made memorization of the Bible a priority, and this method provides both flexibility and accountability. I share Beth's reasoning for recognizing the importance of this spiritual discipline--I need to consciously focus on His Word or I am easily overcome with worry. (This gives me a great idea for my first verse...)
If you're interested in joining me in this project for the new year, post a comment and let me know. I'll be sharing my verses here as I go along.

I can try...could be fun. Haven't memorized much of anything lately.
It'll be great to have you doing this with me! I hope you'll post your verses on your blog, too. :-)
