Journals

One of the most amazing things we can do for our family, besides being with each other, is to document our history. In 5 - 10 - 25 plus years from now. Our children, and ourselves, will love to look back on what we did when we were "here" or "there"…

Traditional Journals

Find a paper journal that matches your personality and writing style. If you are unsure what to write about, try a journal that suggests a daily prompt. You can also make a traditional journal into an art journal by using paint, pastels, or colored pencils.

Online Journals

Online journals are a great option because you can write wherever you are without having to keep track of a traditional journal, and they allow you to compile more experiences, thoughts, and feelings in less time. Most online journal sites also give you the ability to upload other media to your journal entries. For example, you can add pictures and video, and you can embed links to articles or websites that have enhanced your learning or experience.
Most online journal websites are private, so usually you don’t have to worry about confidentiality. And many of these sites provide sharing and publishing options when or if you decide to share or print a copy of your journal. All of your entries are archived on the website you use, so both you and your posterity will have access to anything you’ve recorded.

Blogs

Blogging is an interactive way to keep a journal. You can make it a collaborative process by allowing family members to contribute their memories along with yours. Share your blog publicly or keep it private. Create a personal profile that illustrates your interests and goals. Be “an example of the believers” (1 Timothy 4:12) in a very open way by sharing what you’ve learned about life. People can freely read your testimony and ask questions, and you can provide informed and helpful answers.

Scrapbooks

Scrapbooking is a fun way to keep a journal because it’s hands-on. In this way, reminders of the experiences you’ve had can be preserved in the form of ticket stubs, magazine and newspaper clippings, programs, photos, fliers, and notes. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty.

Photo Journals

Photos are a marvelous way of capturing what you see as you experience life. You don’t have to be a talented photographer to get involved in keeping this kind of journal, especially with all the technology available. Basic digital cameras for the budget conscious can provide good quality pictures, or you may simply want to use the camera feature that comes with many cell phones. There are several applications that provide tools for enhancing and sharing your photos. Print and store them in a photo album, or post them online. Either way, keeping track of your life through pictures is a great way to save memories now and share them later.

Audio Journals

Most audio recorders are digital and take up very little space, so you can take your handheld recording device with you anywhere. You can record thoughts or impressions you receive during the day by simply speaking into the device. You may find that articulating ideas in this way is easier than trying to write them down, since you don’t have to worry about making your writing or typing speed keep up with your thoughts. The audio files you create can often be transferred from the device directly to your computer. You also may be able to download free transcription software if you want to turn your recordings into documents.

Video Journals

You can use a webcam on your computer or any other video camera to record yourself sharing stories and experiences from your childhood. Then consider interviewing your grandparents to preserve their stories too. You and your posterity will be able to watch and enjoy these videos years down the road.

Conclusion


Whichever method you choose, as you make the effort to keep a journal and capture your life’s story, remember to enjoy the experience as well as be introspective. Doing so will bring blessings both to you and to the posterity you leave behind.
