Memory Monday: 2 Peter 1:10-11

I'm working on 2 Peter 1:10-11 this week. And did you notice my new sidebar thing?

I don't even remember how I found this tool. Scripture Typer is really pretty neat. You can memorize random verses it chooses for you, or pick your own. You can select the version you want to use, and you can print them out on Avery cards (though I'm sticking with 3 x 5 cards). 

It has a tool that allows you to type the verse, tracking how quickly you type. (So, if you can't type, forget it. This probably won't work for you!)

And there's a blog widget.

I do wish that the reference was part of what you type when you practice--because it seems like lots of us struggle with remembering exactly WHERE a verse is found.

And you can't really edit Scripture, which is something I tend to do. Before you get worried, what I mean is that I would usually stick my name in there, where it says "my brothers." So it would read, "Therefore, Joanne, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure."

Memorizing Psalm 23 is going to be a big part of the Bible study I'm teaching that starts NEXT WEEK (!!!), and I'm definitely going to recommend this tool in the packet I give out in the second week. (I'd recommend it in the first packet, but they're already printed!)

What are you learning this week?

Hey Joanne!

I was browsing around looking at everyone's Memory Monday verses and found your kind words about the Scripture Typer website. I built the website back in January, and I've been amazed at how it's taken off, and seems to be helping make Scripture Memory easier for so many people.

You're feedback is incredibly helpful, and I'm going to see If I can't program in some options to always type the verse reference, as well as to edit the built in verses. In the mean time, there are a couple of workarounds that can help accomplish what you're after:

1. To learn verse references, look for the 'verse reference test' link below your list of memory verses. This will randomly take you through all of the verses in your list, and have you type the reference, while looking at the text of the verse.

2. To edit a verse, hover over your name and go to 'My Scriptures'. Here you can type or import your own verses, and edit them however you like. All you have to do is type in the book, chapter and verse, choose the translation you want, then click 'import verse text' and it will pull it in for you. You may need to fix some of the formatting, and then pop your name in wherever you like :)

I hope these tips can keep you going while I'm working on those changes you suggested. Thanks again for sharing the site with others in your post today. May we all be filled with His word!

Blessings,

Brett

Thanks for the info on Scripture Typer. I usually love to write out my verses, but this round I am just strickly using the Bible to memorize. It has worked well and I am able to visualize the words and columns and stuff by sticking with the printed text rather than my own handwriting. Hope that makes sense.
