After 5+ years of consistent memorizing myself and training the boys and girl to memorize, I have come to the conclusion that memorization is a skill. Some have more natural ability to do it than others, but if you don't practice and train yourself to do it, you will never be good at it. Matt does not have the natural ability for it, but he has become fairly proficient at it. Andrew has a God given "talent" for it, and he has become super efficient at it. He memorizes his verses for school, and home with ease, especially if it's just 1 verse. He can whip through single verses and retain them without a problem. I'm having trouble figuring out what he should memorize next.
Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.

My suggestion is that he memorize a chapter of James since he is studying the book during his QT.
