In school, we knew the importance of taking notes. No notes = I will fail the course. Or, no notes = the teacher doesn’t like me very much. Whatever the case, we sure did take notes. Everything written on the board was written down in our wide-lined three-ring binder. Unfortunately for us as students, the notes probably meant nothing to us on their own, nor did there exist any cohesion between the thoughts quickly jotted down. As soon as the course was over and the final exam passed, those same notes went quickly into the trash along with the study guide we loved so dearly just before the test began. It’s no wonder that we don’t take notes in church. But I encourage you to take up that habit. In the future, you will be glad you did. Truly.
