This week's "Come, Follow Me" lesson has us looking at sections 77-80 of the Doctrine and Covenants. We always do a sneak peek with the kids and it looks like we'll be learning about the business side of the Church this week; at least how it was set up back then. Should be interesting.

We'll average out at about 13-14 minutes per day this week if you want to do use the checklist on the website, which you can find here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-july-14-20/.

I hope you'll come back and let me know about something new you learned (or relearned) this week! Thanks for being here!

It looks like we're going to be learning about the Atonement this week. We get to review one of my all-time favorite Conference talks; "Am I Good Enough? Will I Make It?"

It's going to be a good week!

Here's this week's checklist: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-july-7-13/

I could be off, but based on the titles of the talks in our study plan this week, we're going to be learning more about the people we can (and should strive to) become. And it also looks like we're all going to get a small lesson in what it means to be a bishop. Maybe we'll all be a little kinder to ours after learning more?

Here's this week's checklist: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-30-july-6/

Which talk are you the most excited to review? For me, it's President Oaks' "Loving Others and Living with Differences."

Did you know that Joseph Smith wasn't perfect? It shouldn't be a shocker, but I think we sometimes tend to put him on a bit of a pedestal and assume that everything he did was done perfectly.

The "Come, Follow Me" manual says that one of the concerns the early Church leaders had regarding the publishing of the revelations Joseph Smith received was the imperfections in the way he wrote them. Section 67 addresses that concern. I'm excited to learn more about that.

Here's the link to the checklist for this week: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-23-29/

I hope you learn something new (or relearn something you may have forgotten)!

Just based on the names of the Conference talks included in this week's studies, it looks like we're going to be learning more about forgiveness.

Here's the checklist for this week: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-16-22/

Have you ever wanted to forgive someone, you just didn't know how? Maybe it was yourself; you wanted to get past something dumb you did but you just couldn't figure out how to let go?

It's happened to me, and I wish there was a quick way to just say, "Ok, I'm done" and have all the feelings of guilt, embarrassment, shame, and ickiness just disappear. Every time I've found myself in that place of wanting to let go and just not knowing how, it has worked itself out; eventually. Lots of prayer, sometimes some fasting, and time.

Keep learning, keep growing, and be of good cheer! I know; it's easier said than done. Just do your best.

We're almost halfway through! How do you feel about that? How has your studying gone this year?

We're looking at Doctrine and Covenants sections 60-63 this week and it looks like we're going to get into the law of chastity a bit.

This week's checklist has us averaging about 15-16 minutes each day this week; totally doable, right? You can find the full checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-9-15/

I've been doing a little construction on the website so if the link doesn't work you can get to the checklist by going to https://paisleyimperfect.com and clicking on Blog in the right corner.

Thank you for showing up! It's appreciated more than you know.

We only have two sections of the Doctrine & Covenants to study this week, but by the looks of it, they're gonna be heavy sections.

Here's this week's checklist to make it easy: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-2-8/

Only about 15 minutes every day. We can handle that!

It looks like we'll be learning more about the Atonement and about keeping the Sabbath day holy. When you're all done, I would love to know what you learned, or re-learned from this week's studies!

Thanks for being here!

Welcome back everyone!

I am so grateful that you keep coming back for more.

This week we're getting into sections 51-57 of the Doctrine & Covenants and I'm excited to learn. Based on what little I've read so far, it looks like it's going to be about the law of consecration and how the Saints back then were able to move and find places to live. It could not have been an easy thing to deal with; from either side.

Today, the Church has humanitarian and welfare services that are probably beyond the imaginations of those early Saints. Frankly, they're almost beyond my imagination. There are so many people doing so many good things in this world.

Thanks everyone!

By the looks of it, we're going to be learning about marriage and it's eternal role in the plan of salvation this week. That could be a trigger for some and I want to acknowledge that.

Please remember that we teach the ideal so that when it's realized in the celestial kingdom we'll know what to expect. It won't be some awkward surprise; it will be something we've always hoped for but didn't necessarily achieve in our mortal life.

No matter what your circumstance is, you are love, remembered, cared for, and we need you among us. We need your perspective and your insight. I cannot express in writing or in a video how much I value you and how grateful I am that you're here.

Our average amount of time spent this week is about 13 minutes per day, except for Saturday when we've got 21 minutes of Elder Bednar. We've got this!

I hope you enjoy your week!

It's my 100th episode! Can you believe it?! I can't.

I wanted to do something special for the 100th, but then I had family in town and sick kids and it just didn't work out. It's ok though. I'll get there again.

Instead we have just a plain ol' Make-a-Plan Monday. This week, we're looking at Doctrine & Covenants sections 46-48 and are learning about spiritual gifts. I have so much to learn about them and am excited to get started this week!

There are two study plans to choose from. Plan A only averages about 11 minutes per day, and Plan B averages about 14. I don't usually break them up when they're that close together, but for some reason I felt like that needed to be done this week.

You can choose which plan to follow and download the linked checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-may-12-18/

I will also post them as images on Facebook and Instagram so you can find them there if that's easier for you.

I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for the great week ahead!
