highlight Scripture in CTC

[Gwenny]

In the Bible quiet time it says, "Scripture Focus: Highlight Genesis 6:9. So, that literally means to highlight it in her Bible? I wasn't sure if it was that or it was just the focus.

My dd highlights the passages in her bible. She also marks her bible when we do the assignments for Genesis: Finding Our Roots.

If you didn't want them to mark up their Bible, you could purchase an inexpensive student or gift type Bible for their school studies. We just ordered a cheaper gift Bible for about five dollars or so, when my older ones went through CTC. There are quite a few in various different price ranges, which is helpful.

For some reason I read "highlight" as, what we are "putting the emphasis on", not physically highlighting. Weird how our minds can work.

Good question! Yes, it does mean to actually highlight the Scripture in the Bible. This has been such a neat thing to do! Our sons will often page through their Bibles and find the highlighted parts to reread, reflect upon, or even copy in b-day, sympathy, etc. cards. It is a neat 'road-map' of all of the places they have been in the Bible. On a side note, I struggled with writing/highlighting in my Bible at first. Now I find, my notes and highlighted portions are so dear to me. My Bible will someday be a keepsake to my dc because my journey with the Lord is there. My parents have a few comments in theirs, and how I pour over those now.

In Christ,
Julie

We use erasable colored pencils for the highlighting. I did buy my daughter a new Bible just for this purpose. Actually, I buy a new one every year in a different translation, so that she will have a set for reference in the future.

We do this, too!
