Are you paying attention?

It's important that no matter how young or old we are, we should try and pay attention to the lessons that we hear at church. Even if you're just becoming a teenager, and it wasn't that long ago that you were playing with dolls or action figures, if you are old enough to be serious about your relationship with God, you're old enough to try and learn from the lessons.

I've noticed that Kassie always takes notes, which I'm always proud to see. I've seen others highlight Bible verses here or there that especially speak to them. You may do one or both of these things, I don't know...Kassie just happens to sit next to me.

Though I may not get this done every week, I'm going to try to take notes each week, then put them here on the blog for any of you who want to review them. And if any of you have notes that you want to share, just let me borrow them and I'll be glad to put them on here, too.

When it comes to taking notes, remember that it doesn't have to be boring on your page. I'm personally a doodler. It helps me to make cartoons or illustrations of what I'm thinking about to remember the points. Look below and you'll see what I mean.

Even though my handwriting is awful (I think it indicates my brain is much faster than my hand), I'm glad to share these if it will help you to think about the lesson you heard the week before.

Have you thought about taking notes? When you look at mine, does it make you remember anything you wouldn't have otherwise? Give it a shot!
