a lil' something i'm doing again

so, back in the day...when i was but a lowly freshman in high school and i had fallen in love with the Word of God for the first time...i used to read the Bible and every time i came across a verse that hit me i would write it out in my little "super-spiritual" notebook :)  anyways, i've started doing that again and it's such a blessing....here's some reasons it helps me....
  • i'm a huge visual learner and when i write it out, i have to read it a couple times over....which helps me get it somewhat memorized
  • as i write it, it also helps me think through the meaning of the verse a lot more...and it's relationship to the surrounding verses
  • even if i don't memorize the verse, i can memorize the general location of it if i need to find it later
i'm just writing this because i like to learn about other people's ways of studying the Word....i think this has been the best way for me so far.  if only because it makes me take my time!
