How excited am I about the Verse Card Maker? If I were Tom Cruise, I’d be jumping up and down on the couch across from Oprah.
What a fantastic tool for Bible memory! I’ve tried making cards for myself on multiple occasions in the past. The cards were doable but tricky and time-consuming. Michael Scott has made it easy.

Regardless, we can all be blessed, as usual, if we hear and keep the words of God. May God’s blessings abound as we attend to The Revelation to John.
