THE TOOLS
WHAT I USE
This is what I use for my journaling, most of which relates to my study of Scripture and sermon preparation.

JOURNALS
Leuchtturm1917
A5, Soft Cover, Dot Grid
This is my primary journal.
Moleskine Cahier Journal
Soft Cover, Large (5" x 8.25")
My “beater journal” for sketching out ideas and experimenting with outlines and definitions.
Field Notes Memo Book
Dot-Graph, 48 pages (3.5" X 5.5")
INSTRUMENTS
Uni Kurutoga Advance
0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
The Kuratoga rotates the lead with each stroke, ensuring a consistent sharp point for clean and uniform lines—perfect for my final sermon notes with a 2B Lead.
Pentel Twist Erase
0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
Pentel Kerry
0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
Classy, timeless looking mechanical pencil.
Pentel Ain, 0.5 Graphite Refills
This is the most important part for me–good “lead.” I like the softer grades as they write darker and thicker. B is a little harder than your standard pencil (HB). I use 2B and 3B.
EXTRAS
Excellent highlighters that don’t smear and have more muted colors.
Sometimes I need to draw a straight line.
This holds all three of my journals, writing instruments, ruler, and a few other things.
