Quest to Memorize The New Testament

Deuteronomy 6:5-7 5  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6  And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7  You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.     My son will be 2 years old in two months time.
