Bible Scripture copying progress log

Tweet

Another project to emerge from feeling-based intuitive chaos to structure. Morgan D. Jones, author of The Thinker's Toolkit, would approve. The goal is to memorize the entire Bible, and I remember things better when I write them down. Hence, I'm writing out a handwritten copy of the NRSV English Translation of the Bible using a pair of binders and a ton of notebook paper. It also allows to write it out "memorization friendly" with a new line for each verse, giving me detailed data as to the references.
