At the beginning of each weeks lesson it encourages you to “record your impressions.” There are several ways in which that can be accomplished.

1. Write, using a pen and paper, in a journal

2. Write, using a pen and paper, in a journal, then scanning it to a digital format

3. Write in the built-in Note app in your digital device

4. Write in a digital journal

5. Write a note attached to the scripture in the Gospel Library

As I have mentioned in previous posts, the critical issue is retrieving the information in the future, so option one is not an option because of the difficulty searching through volume of notes.Option 2 and 3 are workable but separate the impressions from the scripture.Options 4 and 5 are the best options, if option 4 is a journal created in a Notebook in the Gospel Library.For example, while reading Luke 4:14 you receive an impression about the “power of the spirit” and how it applies to your life. You select the verse, then create a Note and record your impression. Before saving the Note you also, tap on the “Add to Notebook” icon, and create a Notebook on “ The Spirit,” then save the Note.Now you have your insight attached to the scripture and have created a Notebook about the Spirit, which will reference the scripture and the note you created.To make this method even better. You can copy the impression recorded in the Notebook into your digital journal. The journal would be an excellent way, to pass on to your posterity, your insights, and provide an excellent backup. As in previous post I have mentioned that I highly recommend the Day One journal.For you use iOS and have the Day One app, the copy and pasting process can be automated.Tap on the menu icon in the upper left-hand corner (the three horizontal dots), tap on “Share,” tap on Day One (you may have to swipe to the left to find it). If you have more than one journal, you will need to pick the journal you want the note sent to. You can also add tags at this point, then tap on Save.To make the above process even faster, I have created a shortcut which will avoid having to pick the journal you want to send the Note to, and will add any tags you use.You can download the shortcut here. Remember to download the shortcut you must be using your iPhone or iPad.Now, in the future, when you want to review your impressions on the “spirit,” you can either do a search in the Gospel Library or go directly to your Notebook on the subject.As always, I am very interested in your feedback and other methods that you use to record your impression.
