I've been working a lot these past days preparing things for some summer camps I'm going to be helping run. During my online search for ideas, I came across this story. It caught my eye, because that is one of my favorite verses. Enjoy:
"An old Christian woman whose age began to tell on her had once known much of the Bible off by heart. Eventually only one precious bit stayed with her, 'I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day' (2 Tim. 1:12). By and by, part of that slipped its hold and she would quietly repeat, "That which I have committed unto Him.' At last, as she hovered on the borderline between this world and heaven, her loved ones noticed her lips moving. They bent down to see if she needed anything. She was repeating over and over again to herself the one word of the text, 'Him, Him, Him.'
She had lost the whole Bible but one word. But she had the whole Bible in that one word."
