Charity in My Sleep

I woke up this morning at 4:30, which is common for me.  I wasn't happy to be up so early, but still it's nice to have some time to study in the quiet.  I made a goal from yesterday's conference to again study the verse in Moroni chapter 7 verse 45 that defines charity, so I went there to read.

 After reading, I wanted to follow Elder Scott's counsel to memorize a scripture, so I tried to memorize this one.  It was cool because, I'd memorize a line or two, fall asleep, memorize more, and fall asleep again.  I say it was nice because, one, I needed more sleep, and 2, it's kind of a comfy drowsy way to memorize.  I'm not sure, however, that it's a real effective way, so lets see how I did:

"and charity suffereth long and is kind and envieth not and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, and is not puffed up, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.  Endureth all things, hopeth all things, believeth all things.

Okay, now to compare it to the real scripture:
And acharity suffereth long, and is bkind, and cenvieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easilydprovoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.


Well, I think I meant to write "is not easily provoked" when I wrote "is not puffed up" the second time, maybe.  I forgot "thinketh no evil.  It also gets a little dicey at the end.  Well, I'm getting a bit tired.  Maybe I'll work on memorizing it some more so that I can get additional sleep...
