Memorizing James

In 2011, my heart-sister Ann encouraged me to memorize the book of Colossians . I didn’t think I could do it. But she broke it down…two verses a week. She generously made scripture cards available to make it easier. And gave some ideas for making the cards lovely. But I just glued them into a notebook. Well, sometimes I taped them. Mine weren’t pretty. But I stuck it out. And that old yellow notebook has a big part of my heart in it too.

Then, at the start of 2012, my Bible study sisters and I study the book of James with Beth Moore. Beth encourages us to memorize the book of James. Her plan is faster, but I love Ann’s two verses a week. It keeps the words on my heart—these tiny bites feed a great hunger. So I decide to try. I'm still doing it--still working through. And tremendously blessed for it. I wanted to make an easier way for you all to find the memory cards I'm using, so...

Here is the PDF to print out scripture memory cards for the book of James. These are simple, not fancy cards, but they are all there (NIV version).

I used the Avery label 5388 to make them.  If you buy Avery label 5388, when you print the document select the "actual size" option on the print screen. This should print out perfect for the index card size cards with perforated edges of Avery 5388. That way you won’t have to do any cutting.

If you like the fancy-pants cards, I've been printing out a pretty one each two weeks to carry with me. Here are those links so far:
