New study technique

When I first arrived here in Minneapolis about 3 months ago, the Lord put it into my heart and mind to try a new technique for studying His word each morning. The Lord has greatly blessed me through it with the ability to remember what I studied and apply it more easily to the situations of each day. May I commend it to you? Here goes!
First, take a very small passage of Scripture and read through it, basically seeking to explain or teach yourself what each part is there for and what each sentence adds to the story......in a way like providing running personal commentary. Once you're finished with your study, look at all your notes and try to summarize it all in a few words or a short phrase. Then, take a note card, divide it into thirds and write on one of them your phrase for the day, the date and the reference for the passage of Scripture. Carry it around in your pocket all day, looking at it periodically and trying to apply it to some of the situations that you go through that day. This should aid in retention. You might surprise yourself at how much you can remember from a simple phrase, constantly recalled all day. Once you have a good number of cards and phrases, use them to try and create a poem that could be memorized, so that perhaps you will never loose the truth the Lord teaches you. Think of it, you could have your own poem covering a whole book of the Bible! I'll include an example to help. I haven't had a chance to write a poem for these yet, but I will give you the outline this time and the poem next week. Love you guys!
