I've been keeing a journal for years.  When I needed a new one, I bought this one.  It has a clear plastic sleeve/book jacket to protect it.  The pages are lined with a scripture verse on the bottom.  The top has a small line near the top of the page for either date or topic.  I write quite a bit, so I may use two pages and the topic line looks a bit odd just hanging there empty.  Otherwise it's a nice journal.
