The Zig Millennium Pen

My Zig Millennium pen and Triple Combination.

One of the most popular essays on "Mormon Insights" is entitled: "The True Way to Mark Scriptures." In that essay I argue that the best pen for marking scriptures is the Zig Millennium pen. The problem lately has been that many stores have stopped carrying the pen. Why? My fear was that this superior pen was being discontinued.

Well, I have the scoop.

The Zig Millennium pen is made by a Japanese company called Kuretake Co. Ltd. The primary American distributor began to cut back on the variety of products they offered. The pens figuratively began to dry up – at least in the United States.

But… MarkerSupply.Com of Nashville, Tennessee came to the rescue. The company told me, "We have been able to step in and start providing what they [the former distributer] no longer carry. So go ahead and promote with no fear!"

Why should YOU use a Zig Millennium pen? Could there be a more appropriate pen name for a Latter-day Saint?

The ink in the "Millennium" pen is acid free, archival quality, waterproof, fade proof, and non-bleeding. No other marking pens that I have ever used have worked as well. You will not see red ink on the opposite side of pages you mark. The flow of the ink does NOT smear or blot.

I recommend using a pure red Zig Millennium pen (width "01" or 0.25 mm). By the way, do NOT bother with smaller or bigger pen tips. The recommended pen width allows for underlining scriptural passages without crossing out text above or below the line. This pen width also allows for writing easily in the margins.

When marking with your Millennium pen use a steel straightedge. Be slow and meticulous. Strive for perfection, because mistakes are permanent.

The cost is a bargain. Buy them for the whole family, and as Christmas gifts.

By the way, I should state that I have absolutely NO profit-making connections with either Kuretake Co. Ltd or MarkerSupply.Com.

But, I have put my money where my mouth is. I just ordered 15 red pens. I plan to be marking scriptures through the Millennium (pun and pen intended, I suppose).

FOR FUN: My Army son took his Zig Millennium pen and scriptures with him to the Middle East. To celebrate his need for scripture, he took this most wonderful picture, shown below. Can you find the Millennium pen? Click on the picture to magnify
