Lent Decision

I'm going to memorize the Matthew account of Jesus death and resurrection, starting at Matthew 27:31 and ending at Matthew 28:10.  It's not short.  46 verses.  Ash Wednesday till Easter Sunday is 47 days.  It's going to really tough, I suspect.  But also really rewarding, if my Advent experience was any indication.  On Easter Sunday, I hope to type the whole passage out on here.

Lord, grant me the perseverance to stick with this idea and see it through to the end.  I want to honour you and prepare my heart for Easter by steeping myself in this tragic and tremendous story.  I want to be blessed by hiding your word in my heart.  Thank you, Jesus, for what you did for me.  May it touch me in a new way this Lent season.
