It’s a time of review when we look back over the year and it was interesting comparing this year’s memorization progress to last. Last year I dug in hard as you can see from the posts, blazing through Matthew at about 15-20 verses per day. But around March I started to fizzle out and stopped in the summer altogether. This year after much wrestling I went slower and meditated more. I came to understand “the grace of gears” (Sept 26, 2011 post). Sometimes we are in first gear and sometimes in fifth. On occasion we are even stopped but only for a short time. That is how we make any journey. And that’s how I made this year’s journey with the process of memorizing. And lo and behold, I came farther and did more chapters this year than last. And I got more out of it. In fact, memorizing James simply changed me in a way I didn’t even expect. At the end of the day, grace got me farther. Imagine that.
