For Quite A While, I’ve wanted to memorize the bible. Do I have any more of it down then the average knowledgable-on-the bible person? Not really.
I remember in middle school (6th, 7th, and 8th grade my parents sent me to a private school, a Christian school-no particularly religious denomination. My family was Presbyterian. Before that had been Methodist. Before that had been, I think. . .Presbyterian) the Bible teacher-my favorite teacher, loved his classes—told us a story in college about a student in a class he took. The professor said if anybody memorized the entire bible that semester. . .they had an automatic A. Little did the professor know that in their midst was one of those people who DO have the entire bible memorized. So a couple days later he and the professor sat down. . .showed he knew the bible. . .got an A. Didn’t have to do any work for the semester.
Anyway, I think alot of the bible is outdated, sexist. . .still, it’s something I’d like to know. Why? Well I’d also like to have memorized dictionaries. Have spent countless hours going through trying—not much luck yet, but I’ll keep at it till I do so. Why? What’s so fascinating? Isn’t there better/funner things I could do with my time? I suppose. I want to. . .just because.
It’s an obsession. And an obsession is a dangerous thing to interfere with. Don’t you Try.
