       There is nothing like going for a nice evening walk on a sunny day that is winding down. Personally, I like to go for walks in the park at least once a week. Sometimes, if I have the time, I will go two or three times. When I walk by the trees, my feet crunching the gravel beneath me, I like to listen to sermons and audiobooks. But one practice I have personally come up with is developing that habit that when I go to one particular park, listen to a particular teacher on my headphones. That is, I have linked one park with one teacher. I know when I go to that park, I will listen to that teacher. In my own mind I have actually renamed the park with that particular teacher. There is nothing like immersing yourself in one particular teacher for a long period of time. You get to know that person well. If they are talking about the Bible, you become familiar with how they approach different topics, and it can even be fun to try to predict what they are going to say. I know sometimes I am right, but sometimes they say something I wasn’t expecting. There is always the opportunity to learn new things, and of course, to be reminded of things we’ve heard many times before.
