Meditation is a lost art. It means to purposefully ponder, to mull meaningfully over, to continually consider, to keenly concentrate on so that it affect my behavior. Perhaps memorizing hoards of Bible verses isn’t the answer. Wouldn’t it better to meditate on one verse a year…and allow it to change your life than to memorize 50 for the mere sake of knowledge? Vague memories of my Bible Doctrines class meander around in my mind. We had to memorize tons of verses but now they are gone.
Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom, like Al Pacino’s cash…
I digress.
