Right now I am working on memorizing Psalm 25. It's my favorite Psalm and has been for years. There are others I have memorized, but never this one.
Psalm 100, I learned as a vacation Bible School student. I can still recite it and recently I learned that my little sister, who learned it at the same time, can still recite it, also.

But now, not so easily, somehow.
I am encouraged by the fact that once I get something down, I rarely forget it.
I just pray that hasn't changed, too.
And so I press on...
