I am trying to make Church a habit. Already, Sunday, I tried to just stay home. Doing something daily takes a long time to be a habit. Since church is only Sunday, I guess it’ll take a year for my little mind to feel I need to go each Sunday. According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes 18 to 254 days for a person to form a habit. The study also concluded that, on average, it takes 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic. So, I have a ways to go.
My cousin and dear friend, Terri Jane Ramirez, sent a gift to me some time ago. It’s an handmade tote bag. I’m carrying it to church toting my Bible and notebook. At church, I pretend I’m in College and take notes on the sermon. It really helps me understand all the points the speaker is referring to. I can’t look up all the Scripture in that short time and go back over the notes I take later. I want to grow in knowledge, wisdom and understanding. I’m not the brightest card in the deck, but smart enough to know I don’t know much. 🤣
Proverbs 18:2
2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion.

I take notes as well. This helps be understand
and put scripture in my memory and heart.

I take notes at church also, using my left hand. I don't have many reasons to write, so I use every chance I get. I think it makes me remember the sermon a little better.
Before I was a member of the church's ministry I always took notes. It usually made the speaker nervous.
