I have to say that Scripture memorization is not an easy thing for this aging head...but, through the encouragement of a friend who is so gifted at memorization and woman like Ann Voskamp, I am doing the best I can to put the Word in my heart!
This is a very moving snippet from Pastor John Piper that hopefully will encourage you to be diligent at memorization:

Believe you me, I have to spend my time getting ready every morning working on this and I have undertaken the "Romans Project" which is memorizing chapter 1, 8 and 12 of the book of Romans, YIKES! I am not just talkin' a verse or two!!! I am talking about memorizing three chapters in the book of Romans. I am getting a late start on it as Ann suggested memorizing two verses per week beginning in the new year. I am only at verses 1-9 in chapter 1.
Will you pray about joining me? I know that I am finding it a true blessing as the memorization even gives you study into the meaning of the Word as you go!
The saying needs to be altered to say that "Yes, you can teach an old mind new tricks!)
