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!

Mar 23 - Mar 27 readings

I dropped off the face of the blogging earth last week. Sorry about that. This week the lesson is about the truths that Heavenly Father brought forth through Joseph Smith: "This Generation Shall Have My Word Through You." The readings are sparse, I'll have the first few days set, then will fill you in on the last two or three days.

Mon, Mar 23rd: Bible Dictionary, “Joseph Smith Translation,” 717; There are a dozen links to scriptures within this passage that point out the revelations received after asking questions. I will include these passages for today's readings.
Tues, Mar 24th: Our Heritage,pages 23–25, 41, 58.
Wed, Mar 25th: Moses 1:40–41 and 2 Nephi 3:11–15, prophecies about Joseph Smith
Thurs, Mar 26th: Truths revealed:
D&C 84:19–25 (Melchizedek Priesthood)
D&C 88:15–24 (Three kingdoms of glory; see also D&C 76:50–112)
D&C 93:29 (Premortal existence)
D&C 107:23, 33, 35 (Apostles and prophets)
D&C 124:37–42 (Temples)
D&C 128:16–18 (Baptism for the dead)
D&C 130:22 (The Godhead)

I hope to read a little from Lucy Mack Smith's book, but I tried to read a seperate book last week and didn't get too far (though that may have to do with the fact that it was a Talmage book and my brain has a hard time following all of his many wise and far-reaching connections).
