Note Taking

I take notes. Lots of notes. I have a file cabinet of notes from sermons and Bible studies - literally, thousands of notes filed by subject. Not to mention notes on napkins from lunch meetings that are transferred onto Outlook tasks , calendar appointments, or Word files. Why? Why take notes? Simple:
  1. It helps me listen.
  2. It helps me learn.
  3. It helps me remember important things.
  4. It’s research…why reinvent the wheel?
I have always lived by this axiom: “The dullest pencil is sharper than the quickest mind”. Do yourself a favor... take a note or two. Are you a note taker? Do you have a filing system or do you hold them in your Bible until you throw them away or your WWJD Bible cover explodes?

Eddie,
Thanks for the nudge to actually DO something with all those meticulous notes I stuff in my bible! Also to begin recording those pearls of wisdom gleaned from good books--why not take advantage of the author's experience and hard work?

Thanks!
