I’d like to see Deseret Book print some scriptures in different formats. For example, the regular size scripture printed page on large size paper. So, what you would have is what looked from the outside to be the large print scriptures, but when openned it the printed portion would be the exact size of the regular scriptures. So, you’d have some awesome amount of margin for notes. Or the small scripture format on the regular sized scripture paper. If DB wants to have my idea they can, just give me a set and let me get my picture taken presenting President Hinckley with a set.

Then I went to post its. This was ok, but they were too small to fit much on them and too messy.

Then I got the huge scriptures and printed notes in size 6 font on filing labels and put them in the margins. This was pretty awesome. But soon my scriptures got so thick they wouldn’t close. Also, as a college student, lugging around those huge scriptures is not only a pain, but appears a bit presumptuous.

Now, I simply don’t mark them at all. This works pretty well, since I have a decent memory and if I see something of interest I analyze it in my head for quite sometiem. I also keep my 150 page notebook handy which is organized thematically with a table of contents. In it I write good quotes, hard questions and new thoughts.

I am by far most happy with this final option.

Actually I found that if you buy very thin paper ala the scriptural paper and then the post-it note adhesive you can slip them into the scriptures. I’ve not tried it, but I’ve thought about typing up notes in very small print to do this.

I thought about using a different scripture edition, but the whole point is to be able to find and/or remember things about the scriptures in the edition I have at church.
