What are you doing for your new memory work? And I'm glad the ladies' retreat plans are going well!

I picked back up in John. I started it in January 2010 and got through the first four chapters, then didn't do any memorization work at all for a year and a half :( Sheer laziness, no excuse. So now I'm working on John 5 (and gradually re-solidifying the first four chapters as I go forward). Are you working on anything this year?
