It’s Monday again, and as I mulled over ideas for a “monday challenge”, I kept coming back to what I wrote last week, which was a challenge on TRUTH.  And scrapbooking our faith.  I heard from quite a few of you, both through the comments and in private by email.  I was encouraged by your responses, and I think I may just turn the Monday Challenge into a series on Digi Faithbooking.  There may be times when I offer something “off-topic”, but I’m becoming more convinced than ever that I want and NEED to be recording a spiritual legacy for my children and for myself.

This week, I don’t have a specific idea in mind, because I’m still working out details on the series.  However, I think I’m going to start with the following verse for my first layout:

Deuternomy 6:6-9 – These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

My best friend Laura uses this verse as her “theme” verse for her website and blog.  As I thought about how to get started with a book on my spiritual heritage and legacy, I kept coming back to this verse.  So, we’re going with it.  (Thanks Laura, for the inspiration)!

Beyond scrapbook layouts, Allan and I have talked several times about using scripture as art in our home – and with digital scrapbooking we can custom design the “theme” by which we want to live.  I’m thinking small pictures AND large framed posters.  Wouldn’t that be cool?

I’d love to hear YOUR ideas on verses that fit who you are, and what you want to convey about your spiritual heritage.  We’ll be talking more “in-depth” over the next few weeks, and I encourage you to join in via the comments or by email if you prefer.
