Do you keep a Commonplace book or type of journal for scripture study?

[Hoggirl]

If so, how do YOU (personally) do this. I was wondering if the idea of a commonplace book would lend itself to scripture study. I don't mean a prayer journal. However, if you DO both (prayer journal and scripture journal) do you keep them together or separate? Mostly I am wanting to know if the commonplace book idea would "work" for scripture study.

TIA for your thoughts.

I write scripture in my regular, everyday common place book and I have a fabulous bible study worksheet I use from Marcia Somerville. She handed them out back in the day of her Weaving a Legacy seminars, but I think she sells them now.

So do you just write (copy) certain scriptures in your commonplace book, or do you write your "reflections" on scripture? Just curious. Thanks!

I write the scripture and why I wrote it in my book. Usually it's just as simple as "For when you are feeling oppressed," or "Perseverance of the saints," or something like that.

Dh's aunt likes to make various notebooks.... a different type which she changes once a year or whatever. I've typed up the outline she's using for her latest.

 

She writes one verb at the top of a page and as she runs across verses that fit, she writes them out.

 

Throughout the week, study the verbs of God in the Bible. Reflecting on God’s work in your life will help you overcome every fear and doubt with faith. Here are some to get you started!

I'm not sure what you are looking for.

 

But I want one of these quiet time notebooks. I've had it bookmarked for years.

[Hoggirl]

I love the list of God "verbs." But ALL of this is very helpful.

Thanks, again!

I've thought about creating a private, Bible study blog. Somewhere to write all the musings about my study. It would include scripture, as well as potential or half thought out lessons and ancedotes to illustrate the study. My private reflections.

 

I've dabbled in writing studies for women, so I think it would be an interesting way to increase my discipline and habit.

 

I enjoy writing for my current blog a great deal.
