Happy May! And happy Scripture Memory Team day! I desire the kind of strength in my inner being that this month’s memory verse, Ephesians 3:16, describes. In this last season, I’ve felt at times that my inner man has been about as strong as a stick figure. Can you relate? Times when the mind, soul, and spirit have felt weak and weary.

Happy February! And Happy Scripture Memory Team day! I had the sweetest experience of being sung to that goes hand-in-hand with this month's verse, so here is my love song story: When I woke up, on the jukebox in my mind, a song dropped from my memories of being a child in the country church where my mom and dad would take us when we visited family here in the mountains.

Happy New Year and Happy Scripture Memory Team day! When I received this month’s Dwell Differently memory verse, it was like receiving a beautifully wrapped present from my own personal shopper. Now, I don’t have a personal shopper; but I just want to let you know it’s how personally and tenderly Jesus met me with a timely word to tuck in my heart. I had been discouraged. At the end of the year when leaving my doctor’s office, I asked her what I could do to expedite my healing ... Read More about Scripture Memory Team 2026 – Verse 1
