What is this blog?

In 2008 I stumbled upon a blog organized by a woman who wanted to read The Bible each day through the year and then comment and receive comments about the reading assignment. I decided to join and I really enjoyed the experience of discussing the passages. I wanted to continue that. I thought I would start a blog that follows the LDS Sunday School lessons, not in any way replacing them, but just to offer a venue to comment on the readings for those who don't like to/get to comment in class or don't get to go to class at all, or just anybody. 2009 was my first full year with this blog, reading the Doctrine and Covenants (all archived in 2009). 2010 I did my best to discuss the Old Testament but fell off in the fall. 2011 is a review of The New Testament, but I was even less successful in continuing with that year, but I hope to fill those in during the year! During 2012 we discuss The Book of Mormon. I will post at least once for the week's readings. I will not post on General Conference weeks and will probably be behind your current reading due to our church schedule, but hope you can still find relevancy. Also, I probably won't proofread much, so please forgive me for errors, I'll be lucky to just get a post each week in. Feel free to comment on my current week or your class' current week. Enjoy! I do!

Week 1, Introductions

If you've read nothing on this blog, read the post below this one for an explanation.

Week one begins with Section one in the Doctrine and Covanants (hereto referred to as DC, I just can't do D&C). If I can, I will post the links to the reading. If there are multiple readings, I will post the link to the Sunday School Study Guide which already includes all of the links. I've included the link to the Sunday School Guide, just so you can take a look at it. It has some other commentary, which is usually a very small portion of the commentary from the teacher's manual.

Sunday School Study Guide

Dec 31st and Jan 1st: Introduction to the DC

Jan 2nd : Introduction to "Our Heritage"

Jan 3rd: DC 1


As I mentioned in my original post, this is not meant as something to hold over our heads and provide yet another venue for guilt. If you can read for the day, great, if you can't, move to the next day or the next. The great thing about the Doctrine and Covenants is that there is not a real story line, just doctrine, so it will be easy to enter conversations throughout the year.
