Jill and I upgraded our cell phones this week. She went from a text phone to a smart phone and I upgraded to a bigger smart phone. So, I've been playing w/ my new phone for the last few days.
Yesterday, I started tinkering w/ the Gospel Library app. I set it up to synch w/ my LDS account. As I was playing around w/ it to see how it works, an idea came to me: why not put all my scripture highlights into my virtual LDS "Study Notebook"? I could also put a link, at the beginning of each chapter, to the respective Book of Mormon Inspection post (from my other blog). So, as I read the Book of Mormon yesterday, I copied the highlighted parts from my physical copy to my smart phone and then synched it w/ my virtual "Study Notebook". Unfortunately, a lot of the LDS web content was down yesterday - they must have had an outage or were performing some upgrades (more likely the former).
So, this morning I logged on to my LDS account, went to my "Study Notebook" and checked to see if my annotations were synched - they were.
Then another idea came to me: when our kids are adults or maybe when they enter seminary, I could share my virtual "Study Notebook" w/ them so they could see all the highlighted parts of my set of scriptures, along w/ the annotations I made. Together w/ this and all my other blogs, they would have a spring board for their own study of the scriptures.
