This week, I released the first of several Memorization CD’s I plan to offer. Memorization of chunks of information is a lost art. Not taught in schools anymore, it has left Society as a whole with weakened memorization storage and retrieval skills, both in long-term and short-term memory. Aging boomers are being diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s due to memory loss. And we have recently learned that the brain is like a muscle, and we can exercise memory skills to keep them strong long into our old age. I was at one of Canada’s largest Home School Conferences yesterday, and my work was well received. The entire Exhibit Hall had nothing of the sort. They only offered Bible Verse Memorization set to tunes, for children to use. I will offer larger chunks like the 23rd Psalm (released) The Ten Commandments, The Lord’s Prayer, The Beatitudes, and 1Cor.13, The Love Chapter. Then we will go on to Psalm 91 and some chapters of Proverbs. I am hoping this will ease some of the financial stress in the near future.
In the meantime, I keep checking email to see if I have heard from you regarding the voice clips I sent. I know you are a busy husband and father, so if you haven’t had a chance to listen, that’s okay. But if you have, I would love to hear back from you. I have been (almost) holding my breath waiting to hear your feedback.

God is awesome. Some days I feel like I am walking on water, eyes on Jesus. Other days I battle the waves, sinking, until I can get my eyes back on Him. Peter was such a “human”, and I thank God for his examples. I really need the Lord to make my Legal/Family paperwork easier than I think it is. To me it seems like a huge burden, but maybe God will make it like touching the hem of His garment, and receiving my needs met. Please keep me in your prayers, and perhaps “At the Altar”.
