Small Changes for a Better Life

I have decided to study Elizabeth George's Small Changes for a Better Life. I have the Growth and Study Guide already and so I have started today. I'd like to do a little work on it daily and (for once) finish what I've started. I'm not very good at this. Indeed, I've started studying this book more than once before now. Discipline is the thing. Which is why I've decided on an Elizabeth George book to start off with - she's big on discipline.

My first task from the book is to memorise Romans 12:2. This is a task I'm setting myself - not one that's imposed by Mrs George. It seems such a good verse to empahsise that we are no longer to conform to the standards of the world and it also deals with matters of the mind which is something that interests this Bipolar patient greatly.

My way of memorising Scripture is to write out the verse(s) ten times each day until I've learned them. While I'm writing, I try to think about what the verse has to say to me rather than it being a mindless repetition of lines scrawled with a cramped hand. I shall aim to check in here each day with a comfirmation that I've done the work and a note of any (profound?) thoughts I have about the verse while I'm writing.
