A pile of books

The question of the day is...

How can I retain all of this?!

This stack of books can seem daunting to say the least. But don't be too impressed they contain a lot of overlapping information formatted in different ways. I'm not going to Harvard, just a little school up I-45. I'm facing my mid-term for the online anatomy class I'm taking through Texas Woman's and I'm questioning if I'm adequately prepared.
This morning Beth had a little wisdom to share with me.

Repetition and deliberate practice of recollection are vital if we want to retain God's Word to abide and remain a storehouse of riches in us long after we conclude our study.

Beth was speaking to studying the Bible, but it gave me a fresh encouragement as I face this stack of books. If I am going to be able to use this knowledge ten years down the road, I need to start recalling it now. I tend to read and reorganize and outline until my face is blue, but I bet a little practice in recall would go a long way.

Well, you know where I'll be the next few days.
