Happy September, friends! And happy Scripture Memory Team Day! I was a bit sentimental when I found out the Scripture verse this month because it’s the first verse I ever remember committing to memory some 50 - give or take - years ago. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 Granted, I memorized it in the KJV, and it will probably forever be implanted in my gray matter that way; but we ...
