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.

Diodrio A5 Zipper Journal

This holds my journals, writing instruments, ruler, and a few other things.

INSTRUMENTS

Pentel Kerry
0.5mm, Mechanical Pencil

Pentel Twist Erase
0.5 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.

Muji Gel Ink
Black, 0.38

EXTRAS

Zebra/Mojiniline Highlighters

Excellent highlighters that don’t smear and have more muted colors.

Zotemo 6 Inch Metal Ruler

Sometimes I need to draw a straight line.

Scotch Magic Tape

I use this tape to hold my half-sheet of sermon notes in my Bible. It holds things securely, but you can peel it off the Bible pages with no damage.
