Those who can spurt off appropriate bible verses off the top of their heads. Ugh!
I'll admit it... I'm jealous of them. I look at them in green eyed awe.
Another of my aims this year is to memorise more bible verses or become more familiar with where the parts of the bible i often quote are located.
My strategy is to read some of the following verses on the days when i listen to a famous speech. With these in my mind I'll feel a little less insecure...

Are there any that you think i should add to the list?
