Bible Note: Picking up your theme about the desirability of memorization, Ed, I'm taken back in time to my days as a student in elementary school -- a time when, in our city at least, Bible was taught in the public schools; and you know, in view of what is happening in our schools today, that must have been long ago. It was. A half century ago in fact. We were taught to memorize verses of Scripture, lyrics to favorite old hymns, and the names of the books of the Bible in their proper order. I can still recite many verses word-perfect that I learned then, and words to hymns, and the books of the Bible in order. In church I often see people in the pews around me searching for a book in the Bible. I can find mine because I learned years ago where it was located in the Bible. It is a source of exquisite and enduring delight and spiritual enrichment to have one's mind stored with many passages from God's eternal Book, the wonderful words of life. Not nearly enough stress is placed on memorization these days. --Hank |
