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!

One awesome verse

There are many wonderful verses of scriptures. But when I read this one, I was completely overwhelmed. This verse comes after the Lord explains the reason for baptism by water and then this verse is given (a prelude to the awesome verse):

Moses 6:60: For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sancitified;

Now for the awesome verse that just makes me feel so blessed and loved by a Supreme Being (I'm going to split it up into a list):

vs 61: Therefore [the Spirit] is given to abide in you;
the record of heaven;
the Comforter;
the peaceable things of immortal glory;
the truth of all things;
that which quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things;
that which knoweth all things, and hath all power according to wisdom, mercy, thruth, justice, and judgment.

What an awesome list of our possibilities, capabilities and potential! We are given the tools, we just have to forget ourselves and use them!
