Things To Put On

My lovely friend LaChon Riley recently taught me how to study the Bible in lists. It has been a super fun, new way to study for me and I have learned a lot. I wanted to share a list I made in personal study and then some applications I made on my own (a checklist) in hopes that it might help you in your personal study as well. Enjoy!
