Thoughtful Tuesday
Today I would like to share Color Coded Bible Study, a method discussed by Ruth
O'Neal at TheMennonite. I’m going to give
you a brief outline, but her post has all the details. You will need a Bible that you will be
coloring in, colored pencils, a pen, a highlighter and a notebook.
- Read the chapter you have chosen to study.
- Then, follow her suggestions for coloring in various details of the chapter. Sometimes I do this step in one sitting, sometimes over a period of days. It’s up to you and how the Holy Spirit is working in your heart.
- Your next step is to read the chapter as if you are the author and journal about who you are, where you are and who your audience is.
- Now you’ll read the chapter again, but from the perspective as the recipient. Journal about the message you are being sent. During both of these steps, I often refer to my color-coding and the results are amazing! The depth of awareness increases in even the most familiar passages of Scripture.
- Next you move onto following the “bread crumbs” – the extra references in the margins of your Bible. Ruth has excellent guidingquestions for this step!
- The next step is to see what scholars have to say about your passage. For now, I’m using Biblehub as a reference for this part. Again, seek out Ruth’spost for this section. Her additional comments will greatly enrich your study.
- Finally, apply what you’ve learned to your life!
I applied this to Psalm 1. Here’s what it looked like. The paper is white - not sure why it came out the way it did, but I like it!
The framing was just a bit of doodling…..
Here’s what my Bible looked like in May
when I did my “dry run”. When I picked
up Psalms to begin this study last week, I gleaned so much more as I
journaled!
Thank you, Ruth for sharing such a powerful tool!
To Do Tuesday
Last Week's List
Progress was greatly hampered by a misfortune - I cut my middle finger with a rotary cutter. Yuck! How I caught my middle finger is beyond me. I refused to go into the ER and opted to treat it at home with my dear husband doing the heavy lifting. After several days of Neosporin and bandages, I am down to just a band-aid and alternating Neosporin and fresh aloe vera.
As it was on the side of the ancillary node dissection and lumpectomy, I called my surgeon who said as long as it doesn't get infected, I am good. My PCP said it looks good and sent me off for a tetanus shot.
I did order the Klutz Glove and will be a faithful user of it! :)
1) Backpack: I would like to stitch all around my quilted pieces to seal the edges. After that, I am going to prepare the rest of the pieces by fusing the various interfacings, making the bias binding, padded handle, straps and strap tabs. I also need to prepare the front flap of the backpack pocket. It sounds like a lot, but I do not think it will take too long. ✔ This was before I cut myself.

2) The actual instructions for sewing the Oreo Orca are three pages with tons of pictures. I am hoping to finish the following sections: patches, tummy, tail, fin and sewing the top together. Luckily, there is a "Sew with Me" webpage! I am getting excited about this project! X To be added to this week. I did manage to cut out all the pieces and get some parts sewn on!
The white fabric is a glow-in-the-dark fabric!
3) Continue making those pretty, green flowers for my Spring Granny Square Afghan! X Crocheting was out of the question, maybe this week? I did however make these yo-yos!
4) Finish the flimsy for Comfort Quilt #3. X
5) Make more four patches - of course! X
This Week's List
will look a lot like last week's list.
5) Trim my four patches.
Hope you will visit and link up to these great parties!
will look a lot like last week's list.
1) Backpack: Hopefully get through at least 1/2 of section 3's instructions.
2) Oreo Orca: I would like to finish the tummy, tail, fin and sewing the top together. The "Sew with Me" webpage is helpful!
4) Finish the flimsy for Comfort Quilt #3.
Hope you will visit and link up to these great parties!
