Accountability

I'm trying something new, we'll see how it goes. I'm going to try to memorize some scripture, something I've never really done. Like I really need to add something else to my schedule! However, in the season of Lent I'm going to give up something and add something to my life. I'm adding learning some verses, and I'm giving up clutter. Piles of junk and clutter in my home beware!

Off to the side I'm posting the verse(s) that I'm working on and I'll update it when I learn this one and start a new one. I'm hoping that it won't take me much more than a week to learn, but we'll see. This first one is five verses, but it's one that always hits me over the head when I read or hear it, one that I need to impress on both myself and my children, so I figured it was a good place to start.

As a practical matter, I'm printing the verse on a piece of paper and taping to the back of a business card so I can keep it with me to read over when I have a minute, also I can sit it beside my computer at work and read over it multiple times a day.

Part of why I started this blog was to help keep me accountable, even if no one ever reads my blog I'm more likely to follow through on something if it's in "black and white" so to speak. I'd like to pick a new verse for the week every Sunday, quite a lofty goal, but now I've put it out there in bloggyland, so I at least have to try!

Who knows, it may even make me a better person...
