The following is a list of my memory verses for the 2009 LPM Siesta  Scripture memorization deal (a "palooza" of sorts) that is going down as we speak in order to foster accountability as we deliberately saturate our minds with God's Word!  The following are a list of the verses I have chosen to memorize.

April 15-30         1 Corinthians 7:29-31 NIV

Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.  He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.  His hears is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes."

9 If you make the Most Hight your dwelling--event the LORD, who is my refuge--
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
